A Place In The Sun's Scarlette Douglas rushed to A&E after suffering 'strange numbness and tingling' amid process of freezing her eggs

A Place In The Sun’s Scarlette Douglas was rushed to A&E after suffering from a ‘strange numbness and tingling,’ on Thursday.

The presenter, 36, who is currently in the process of freezing her eggs, admitted she had been getting ‘strange sensations’ in her arms and legs.

While getting ready for an awards show, Scarlette explained how she had ‘freaked herself out’ by googling her symptoms.

In the clip shared to Instagram, she began: ‘I’m hosting an awards show today which means that in my break I’ll be running to the toilet here and glamorously doing one of my injections.

‘I have noticed over the last few days I’ve been getting like a slight numbing tingling sensation in my left arm and a little bit in my left leg.’

She continued: ‘It feels like a dead arm, dead leg, you know when you sleep on something funny.

‘So at first I was thinking that’s probably what it is, but then obviously Doctor Google freaked me out and made me think that it could be something worse.’

In another update Scarlette added: ‘So I did call the clinic today, they said I need to get to A&E when I can. Just to triple check everything’s okay so I will be doing that after the award show tonight.

‘Make sure I don’t have any blood clots and also to make sure there is no ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome going on.

‘Now I did only have a scan on Tuesday and that showed that actually everything was fine. So I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about but if you have been through this process and if you have noticed that as well let me know.’

Scarlette is in the process of freezing her eggs after admitting ’37 came around so quickly’ and she hopes to protect her ‘future offspring.’

Freezing eggs means going through the IVF process, which typically takes two to three weeks.

This involves taking drugs to boost the production of eggs, and also to help the eggs mature.

She said: ‘I learnt so much about my eggs and the process of vitrification at the @barbadosivf. I really wish this was something taught to me when I was younger or at least spoken about in more depth.

‘Yes my aunty and friends had encouraged me to do it in my younger years, but I didn’t for one second think it would be something I would need to consider, let alone think about back then, but who knew 37 would come around so quickly?!’

The TV presenter added: ‘I really should have taken action when they first said it all those years ago.

‘I can’t turn the clock back now, but I can move forward as quickly as possible (of course armed with the new knowledge I now have) and not wait a minute longer to protect my future offspring.’

She is currently 14 days into her egg freezing journey.
