BILLIE Faiers’ daughter Margot has been rushed to hospital after a ‘terrifying and upsetting’ incident at home.
Towie legend Billie, 34, worried fans as she shared a photo of the little one in a child’s hospital bed to her Instagram Story last night.
22-month-old Margot was seen gazing into the eyes of a baby doll while tucked up underneath a blanket.
The reality star wrote in her caption: “My little darling Margot [white heart] we ended up in hospital yesterday as Margot had another febrile seizure due to a high temperature it really is just so terrifying and upsetting but she is on the mend now.”
Earlier this year, Billie broke down in tears as she recalled the heartbreaking moment Margot stopped breathing the first time she experienced the seizure.
She opened up about the family emergency to sister Sam Faiers on their podcast The Sam & Billie Show.
She called it “the most horrendous, scary moment of my whole entire life.”
She added: “I feel like that’s really made me run down and ill as well because it’s just so scary and worrying.”
While seizures, which can be brought on by having a high temperature, rarely do long-term damage, they are still upsetting to witness.
The NHS states that the seizures usually last between two and three minutes and affect those aged between six months and six years old.
As Billie talked about her daughter’s breathing difficulties, she paused and became overwhelmed with emotion.
Sam encouraged her to let the tears out and admitted it made her want to cry too.
Billie said: “You can imagine as a parent you just think the worst, the panic.”
Fortunately, Billie confirmed Margot was on the mend though battling tonsillitis.
The TV personality had initially shared the scary news on social media.
Billie captioned a picture of her with son Arthur, then five, and Margot: “One exhausted mumma.

“My little darling Margot has had a nasty virus, on Sunday Margot had a febrile seizure, it was the most terrifying moment of my life.
“It was caused due to a spike in her temperature, I was so scared and didn’t know what to do, we of course called an ambulance and Margot was examined at the hospital.
“After speaking to numerous doctors since they all said the same thing to me, that they are quite common but not spoken about, so I’m sharing this because it may encourage some of you to research what to do in this situation.”
One fan commented: “Oh Billie sending so much love to you all!”
Whilst another added: “So sorry darling, get well soon little one.”
And a third penned: “Oh my gosh!! Terrifying I’m so pleased she’s ok Billie.”
