Dancing On Ice star Ben Hanlin’s secret heartache as his seven-month-old daughter battles sepsis – The Sun

DANCING On Ice star Ben Hanlin has been hiding a secret heartache after his seven-month-old daughter was left battling sepsis in hospital.
The 33-year-old dad-of-two suffered six days of hell at Birmingham's Heartlands Hospital as doctors worked round the clock to save little Delilah.
Magician Ben, who even spent a night sleeping on the floor of the ward, told The Sun Online the tot's temperature rocketed to 103 degrees and left her struggling to breathe last week.
But he kept the news quiet as he performed on Dancing On Ice last Sunday after deciding with his family to do the show after Delilah was released from hospital.
He said: "I only told my dance partner Carlotta [Edwards] and the producers what was going on, but my mind has obviously been elsewhere.“The doctors said if we had called the ambulance just half an hour later, it could have been a completely different story. Delilah only responded so well because we called 999 so quickly.”
