A young dancer was left on the brink of death after being fitted with a pacemaker which should have saved her life - but instead infected her with a killer bug.
Traumatised Mikayla Meres, 21, shared shocking photos of her "hanging on by a thread" in hospital after bacteria on the device sent her into septic shock.
She suffers from a condition which caused erratic heartbeat and was forced to give up modern and contemporary dance aged 17 as a result.
