She was on holiday in Chicago with Will (@jessiereneewynter/Instagram)"I was so lucky that I was with Will and he looked after me throughout the whole time especially because it was so scary.
"It was such an awful and scary situation to be in and it breaks my heart that this is something people need to look out for."
She added: "If you're out drinking please always make sure you're with someone who you trust and please be careful when sitting your drinks down or accepting drinks off others.
"It's so sad that this even has to be a reminder but unfortunately it's the harsh reality. I'm so grateful to have been around so many supportive people who got me safely to hospital.
"It was so scary, in the hospital there were other girls arriving in the exact same condition I was in and the nurses said we had all tested with the same thing in our system.
"I felt so embarrassed that this had happened to me and felt like this was all my fault and I can imagine others have been in the same position may feel the same but this is your reminder that this is not at all your fault and it's nothing to be embarrassed about.
"The people that should feel embarrassed and ashamed are the awful people who choose to spike other peoples drinks, not the victim.
"Thanks for all the lovely messages and I pray that this doesn't happen to any of you out there. I also send love to anyone else who has been put in the same or worse situations."
