Ever since we heard that Cheryl Cole had been diagnosed with malaria, we've been wishing her a speedy recovery, but it could have been completely different as a source has revealed that the singer was close to death.
A friend told the News of the World, “We nearly lost her and the battle is far from over. She is so weak and this horrible illness has taken complete hold of her.
“It got so bad she was literally only hours from death's door. Thank goodness she was diagnosed in time. Even now she can't talk. She drifts in and out of consciousness and when she comes round all she can do is sob.
“There was no news coming out of the hospital because it was all so touch and go. We couldn't give any assurances to fans because there weren't any to give.
“The fact is, we came close to losing someone very special. She can't even speak at the moment and doesn't know what's happening to her...It's terrifying. And there's no end in sight. Seeing Cheryl like this is so painful. She could easily have died. And she's not better, she's not even close. It's still a very serious situation and she's really going to have to battle.”
Get well soon Cheryl.
