Cole recently returned from a short break in Tanzania with her friend and dancer Derek Hough, according to recent news agency.

A source told The Sun: "She told doctors she'd had stomach pains since her return from Tanzania. On Sunday evening her condition deteriorated so rapidly she knew it was something serious."

According to newsagent "She had spent 48 hours in bed trying to sleep off what she thought was a stomach bug. She was extremely weak, sweating and drifting in and out of consciousness. She was driven to hospital where tests showed malaria. Everyone is really concerned. She is very ill."

“I wasn’t a bad kid, but I wasn’t the best at sticking to rules. I was a bit of a joker and more into just seeing my friends at school and talking. Then at night, I wasn’t the best behaved, [I] would sneak out my window [and] stay out late.”
