Here’s the story of how 3-year-old Layla Towsey woke up from a meningitis coma, singing Mamma Mia:

Ms Towsey [...] , said: "Before they put her in the ambulance we were told to give her a kiss goodbye – it was an awful moment."

Layla was also diagnosed with meningococcal septicaemia and the family prepared themselves for the worst as she lay in intensive care.

Ms Towsey said: "But on the Sunday morning I could hear her singing Mamma Mia quietly. I couldn’t believe it.

"I knew immediately she was going to be OK."
