TV presenter Charlie Webster out of coma after bout of malaria

TV presenter Charlie Webster has been brought out of an induced coma in a Rio hospital after contracting a rare strain of malaria.

The 33-year-old Team GB ambassador is on life support after becoming unwell while watching the opening ceremony of the Games. Her mother, brother and manager have flown from Britain to be by her bedside.

The former Sky and ITV sports presenter fell seriously ill on August 6 following a 4,828km charity cycle ride, having arrived in Rio a few days earlier. Webster was admitted to hospital, where doctors initially thought she was dehydrated following the gruelling six-week Ride To Rio challenge. However, her condition deteriorated after she developed a severe bacterial infection complication.
