TV presenter Charlie Webster, who contracted malaria in Brazil, has arrived back in the UK.
The 33-year-old Team GB ambassador travelled on a specialist medical plane with a team of professionals, who continued her care on the 20-hour journey.
Webster’s condition remains stable but serious, and she will continue her treatment in a private ward at St James’s hospital in Leeds.
Webster fell ill during the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics and she was taken to hospital on 6 August.
The former Sky and ITV sports presenter had just completed a 3,000-mile (4,828km) charity cycle ride from London to Rio.
Her condition quickly deteriorated and she was put into a medically induced coma. Doctors diagnosed a very rare strain of malaria and specialists are now trying to find out where she caught the disease.
Last week, Webster was able to get out of bed for the first time and her kidney dialysis was reduced to six hours a day.
