Annabel Rhodes was taken to hospital from the bar at the Curium Palace hotel in the resort of Limassol after she swallowed the fluid.

The youngster is in a critical but stable condition and breathing through a respirator at the Makarios Hospital in Nicosia.

Her father, Mark Rhodes, 55, and her mother, who has not been named, are by her bedside.

Police said he ordered a drink of diluted orange juice from a 43-year-old barman at the hotel but instead of water the drink was diluted with cleaning fluid.

A spokesman for the family, speaking from the hospital, said: "This is a very emotional time for them and an intensely personal matter.

"They would like their privacy respected."

A spokesman for Limassol police said: "The police are investigating this case.

"The little girl is in the Makarios Hospital in Nicosia. She is serious. Nobody has been arrested.

"Her father asked the 43-year-old man to put water in a glass of orange juice at 6.45pm on Saturday. But instead he put something else, some cleaning fluid."
