Tom Jones star Hannah Waddingham's daughter's horrifying health scare changed life forever


Hannah Waddingham is currently starring in Tom Jones on ITV – but she previously opened up about the terrifying health battle her daughter faced when she was younger

She's also presented the Eurovision Song Contest, appeared in Game Of Thrones, Benidorm and Sex Education, and is now starring in the lavish costume drama, Tom Jones, on ITV1 and ITVX. The four-part adaptation of Henry Fielding's 1749 comic novel concludes on Sunday night, 29 September, once again featuring Hannah in sumptuous corseted gowns and powdered wigs as Lady Bellaston, with Solly McLeod as the foundling Tom himself. And the actress opened up about her daughter's shocking battle with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), a condition that left Kitty "suddenly very ill" and hospitalised for some time before the diagnosis was made.
