Abbey Clancy has revealed that her and Peter Crouch's 12 year old daughter Sophia was rushed to hospital with the serious virus, meningitis.
The virus, which is inflammation of the lining around your brain and spinal cord, can be life-threatening if not treated very quickly by doctors.
Little Sophia became unwell during a family trip to Portugal, leaving her frightened parents feeling "vulnerable".
Abbey also told of how her three other children were also displaying flu and coughing symptoms, as she described the experience as "terrifying".
Speaking on their own podcast, named The Therapy Crouch podcast, model Abbey said: "The school holidays have been tough.
"We got to Portugal and Sophia was in hospital with meningitis which was just the scariest thing on earth.

"Being in a foreign hospital, language barriers, the words like meningitis being thrown around, lumbar punctures, brain scans.
"It was horrific – I felt so vulnerable – and scary. But I must say the medical care over there were just out of this world."
Abbey described how the incident had happened at 1 o clock on a Sunday morning, as she sarcastically said "these things always happen" at an awkward time "just to add "fear and that scariness of the situation".
She admitted that when Sophia fell ill she "just knew" it wasn't a normal bug, as she predicted to Peter that it was in fact meningitis.
The fear of the situation meant that Abbey "slept four hours" in "around 30 hours", adding that she had "never been so scared".
After their youngest son Jack started to display even more serious symptoms, Peter said he felt like they "needed to" take him to the hospital too.
After doing "shifts" to take care of their children in Portugal, things weren't about to get any easier for the couple when they got home, as their other daughter Liberty got a "vomiting bug".
It all got too much for Peter, as Abbey shared that he said "f**k this, I can't be a***d with this," and stormed off into another bedroom.
Abbey and Peter share four children: Sophia, 11, Liberty, seven, Johnny, five, and three year old Jack.
The couple have been married for eleven years, after first tying the knot in June 2011.
At the beginning of 2023, Abbey and Peter renewed their wedding vows in a stunning beach ceremony in the Maldives.
They had their four children and a select few family members and friends with them to celebrate eleven years since they tied the knot.
