Harry Judd’s wife Izzy has issued a terrifying warning to parents after their son Lockie, three, was ‘rushed to hospital’.
The McFly star, who has been promoting his band’s collaboration with Busted, had a ‘traumatic few days’ after Lockie was injured by a washing pod.
The couple, who wed in 2012, have three children; Lockie, daughter Lola, seven, and son Kit, five.
Izzy shared a black and white picture on her Instagram, holding her son’s tiny hand as he slept.
In the caption she wrote: ‘It’s been a traumatic few days… the reason I’m sharing this is because I don’t want another family to experience this and although we all get told the risks of cleaning products at home, reminders are always important.
‘So Lockie managed to get hold of a washing pod which he then burst open and managed to get into his eyes very badly. In that split second I wasn’t there, I also forgot to put the washing pods away 💔.’
She revealed: ‘We rushed to the hospital… Lockie’s Ph levels in his eyes were 8 and they needed to be 7. It took all night flushing out Lockie’s eyes with 22 litres of fluid before finally getting the ph down.
‘We couldn’t be more grateful to the@nhsengland A&E nurses who showed unbelievable dedication and kindness, not only to Lockie but also to me. As you can imagine it was pretty horrendous having to watch and put Lockie through that, he doesn’t like getting his hair washed let alone having to lie there for 10 minutes for each litre of fluid 😢
‘We are now being closely monitored as his right eye is injured from the chemicals, we are in the best hands though and I’m so grateful to the specialists. Little Lockie is such a determined and brave little boy.’
She concluded her message with a warning to other parents, reminding them to ‘please put cleaning products high up and completely out of reach’.
Izzy called it her ‘scariest moment as a mum’ and said she was ‘so sorry for others who have experienced these kind of awful accidents too.’
Harry has not commented on the incident but friends sent plenty of support in the comments, wishing Lockie a speedy recovery.
‘Sending massive amounts of love. Here if you need us ❤️,’ commented Georgia Jones, wife of bandmate Danny Jones.
Tom Fletcher’s sister and musicals star Carrie Hope Fletcher wrote: ‘Sending so much love to you all! ❤️’.
Joel Dommett added: ‘Ahh man this is horrid! Hope you are all ok. ❤️❤️’
‘Sending love to you all through this traumatic scary time. Xx’ said Heather James, mum of the late Deborah James.
