"In a nutshell, I’ve been quite unwell but fully recovered now. I’m sharing this with my audience because whilst I want to be honest, I mainly feel the need to spread awareness & have added a couple of links in my bio.

"Above all, I’ve learnt the importance of how we need to listen to our bodies."

Day went on to thank the doctors and nurses "who brought me back to health, cared for me round the clock, turned tears into laughter & picked me up through some dark nights", adding that they were "all angels".
