‘ Our girl a life-saver’

- By Emma Pryer TV EDITOR

LINE of Duty star Jason Watkins has revealed how the tragic death of his little girl led to another toddler’s life being saved.

Jason and wife Clara lost two- year- old daughter Maude in 2011.

Doctors had failed to diagnose sepsis and the actor went on to talk about the blood condition on a radio show.

He later got a message from a woman who had heard him and realised her friend’s daughter was suffering from sepsis.

Father-of-four Jason, 50 – who plays forensic investigat­or Tim Ifield in the BBC police drama – said: “It turned out the informatio­n she had heard me give out saved that toddler’s life. That was humbling. Sepsis is a huge issue.”
