She said: “My vision's going in one eye. I'm not feeling well, part of my vision has disappeared.”
It is reported she had been suffering a migraine.

Fellow contestant Ria Samedi then rushes to her aid before shouting, “She lost her eyesight.”

“I think it's just best for my health and it's best for everyone here if we just take a step back now," she said.
