She continued: "I'm so sorry but we had like the worst exit to Jamaica of all time. I can't even like get over what's happened. It doesn't feel real. Today's the first day I've felt like I can walk around the house and feel like normal."

Stacey added that she planned to just "carry on" but "felt worse and worse" as the day went on.
Stacey continued by saying that she told Joe to take their children to dinner whilst she rested. She said that when he returned, he contacted her sister, who is a nurse, because she "looked a mess". Stacey said that her sister checked her temperature, among "other nursing stuff," and that in the end, the family sought medical assistance at their hotel.
She said: "The nurse came down, took one look at me and a put an oxygen mask on [me]. And then she was like covering me in wet towels and my temperature was still too high. So she literally said 'she needs to get to the hospital'." Stacey further shared: "I ended up in hospital in Jamaica [...] on an IV drip, like with an oxygen mask on. [...] The IV and everything went in and I did start to feel like instantly so much better. Still rough as hell, but way better than I was."
The presenter said that she spent a night in hospital and wanted to be able to return home as scheduled. "They got me to a point where they were happy for me to fly home," she said, before adding that she's been resting since. She concluded: "I'm just gonna rest up and hopefully in a couple of days I'll feel back to normal. But even then, I think I'm gonna take it slow because I don't ever wanna be in that situation again. It actually scared me a little bit."
