GOGGLEBOX star Ellie Warner has revealed that her baby son was hospitalised twice in the last month.
The 33-year-old, who has been a regular on the Channel 4 show since 2015, shared the news in a recent post on Instagram.
Ellie took to her social media account to tell fans what she has been up to over the past few weeks.
Unfortunately she had to go to hospital with her baby boy Ezra, who had bronchiolitis – a viral chest infection that affects babies.
Luckily, the tot is doing well now, and the reality star has done a lot of other exciting things in March.
Ellie captioned the post: “March dump! Nothing spectacular or eventful, Ezra had 2 hospital stays for bronchiolitis, first Mother’s Day, back to work after maternity leave, went on some walks!
“I like the simple life what can I say.
“Ezra is doing well now.
“I’m just putting this up here for balance, social media is saturated with everyone’s gorgeous Easter photos, but remember not everything is as you see on social media.”
Many fans rushed to the comments section to share their love.
One wrote: “1. I hope Ezra’s doing ok .”
“Glad he’s doing better now,” another chimed in.
A third added: “Well said Ellie. Glad Ezra is OK. How worrying for you. Not easy being a Mummy. Hoping April is better. Go and jump in the puddles with him xx.”
It comes after Ellie shared a picture of her first day back at work after giving birth.
The hairdresser was all smiles as she posed in the mirror of the hair salon Tint in Leeds.
The mum has been working as a hairdresser since 2009, but is now a specialist in hair colour.
Back in June 2023 Ellie revealed she had given birth during an episode of Gogglebox.
The telly addict also posted a sweet snap of her boyfriend Nat and their baby son during the festive season.
Ellie first mentioned her man on Gogglebox in 2018.
The couple moved into their own home in 2021.
BRONCHIOLITIS is a common chest infection that affects babies and children under the age of two.
It is different to bronchitis which causes a cough with lots of mucus and affects people of all ages.
Bronchiolitis is usually relatively mild and can be treated at home, but it can be very serious.
Early symptoms include:
When the condition worsens, kids might also experience:
Symptoms are usually the worst between days three and five. The cough usually gets better within three weeks.
There is no specific treatment for bronchiolitis and it often gets better on its own.
But it can be serious in some cases, and children may need to go to hospital.
You should call 999 or go to A&E if your youngster is struggling to breathe, making grunting noises or sucking their tummy under their ribs.
Other red flags are pauses in breaths, blue skin, tongue or lips, and floppiness and difficulty staying awake.
Parents should ask for an urgent GP appointment or call 111 if their child has a cold that is getting worse, they are eating much less than normal, their nappy has been dry for more than 12 hours, they feel hotter than usual or they are acting very tired or irritable.
Around one in three babies will develop bronchiolitis in the first year of their lives, according to the National Childcare Trust.
One per cent of those hospitalised die from the illness, government figures show.
