Reality star Jess Wright has revealed her two-year-old son has been rushed to hospital.
Jess took to Instagram to reveal the heartbreaking news to her followers, admitting it has been a “tough” week for her family.
Her young son was left “limp and lifeless” as she told her followers the importance of always getting your kids checked over. The news comes after she announced Presley has a heart condition called Bicuspid Aortic Valve.
Jess Wright reveals son was rushed to hospital
Reality star Jess revealed that Presley first displayed symptoms last Tuesday (February 11) when he refused to have food or water throughout the night. And instead spent the night in Jess and her husband William’s bed. But things took a shocking turn as his symptoms developed into a “horrific cough” that led them to bring him to A&E.
The worried mum shared a series of images of Presley on Instagram, and explained to fans what had happened.
She wrote: “This sickness turned into a horrific cough with a temperature, until finally on Friday my mother instincts kicked in and I took him to A&E. He was sent home as his observations after another dose of nurofen were ok and they couldn’t hear anything suspicious in his lungs.”

However, nothing seemed to be changing, and Jess admitted it had been 48 hours of no food or colour in his face. And when Jess was alone with him, she knew something more had to be done.
She continued: “I called my mum and husband. I said please come here immediately, I can sense something isn’t right. I called 999 and within eight minutes there was an ambulance at our door.”
But during the call, Jess recalled the horrifying moment she was told “to go and find a defibrillator”.
When they got to the hospital, his oxygen levels dropped again, but after a “very scary” four hours, they finally saw a doctor.

Jess explained he had a “crackling at the bottom of his right lung” which indicated a chest or lung infection.
After Presley started taking antibiotics, the TV star was relieved that 48 hours later he “has his cheeky laugh back”.
Jess emphasised that she was posting about the situation to make sure parents “don’t wait”. Because nobody can “know how these things escalate”.
Friends and fans were quick to send their love and well wishes to the family.
Megan Mckenna commented: “This is awful. Sending you all my love. I am so glad he’s playing with his toys and smiling again! Poor baby. Your gut is always right.”
Her sister, Natalya, shared a series of hearts in response. And fellow TOWIE star Gemma Collins wrote: “Sending you so much love.”
