The family of a little girl who is fighting for her life after contracting Strep A have been told she is the "poorliest girl in the whole of England".
Dad Dean told Sky News: "To go from dancing on Friday night with her friends, to a little bit under the weather on Saturday and then a bit more bad on Sunday, she's basically not the same girl any more. It's heart-breaking."Dean said they took his daughter to hospital on Saturday and doctors prescribed her with an inhaler and they went home. However, her health deteriorated on Sunday and she was rushed to A&E.
