A DANCER given just 72 hours to live after her appendix burst has battled back to win a
Miss England semi-final spot half a year after her life hung in the balance.

Jodie Duckworth, 18, underwent emergency surgery after her appendix ruptured, causing
life-a threatening blood infection.
Doctors feared they could not save Jodie’s life or that she would be wheelchair-bound.
But she has since made a remarkable recovery — even signing up to become Miss England.

Jodie, who has recovered so well she can study dance at a performing arts college, said
doctors described her amazing turnaround as a “miracle”.
Jodie added: “I want to show people that you can overcome anything if you set your mind
to it. Having experienced such a traumatic situation I want to live life to the max and grasp
every opportunity that comes my way.”
She will battle it out with 55 other semi-finalists to bag one of 14 spaces in the final.
