Speaking about her previous illnesses, Millie told ITV Sport she feels "lucky" to be where she is today, she said: "I've struggled since I was born. I was eight days old when I had pneumonia, then I had croup, then asthma.She added: "It's never crossed my mind that my asthma would stop me playing. Does it create challenges at times? Absolutely.
She said: "It was really quite bad. Eventually I had a steroid machine at home to help me but before I was old enough for that I had to get an ambulance whenever I was having an attack in the night. That would happen several times a week
