Amy Childs rushed her son to hospital this week after he was "struggling to breathe".

The 'TOWIE' star took to Instagram to reveal she had to take her eight-month-old son Billy to a medical facility because he had a really bad cough, and it reminded her of the time he was "struggling to breathe" when he was a newborn.

She wrote on Instagram: "Thank you for all your messages about baby Billy, sadly we ended up in A and E last night waiting eight hours to be seen.

"Bill's coughing got worse and was struggling to breathe.

"As a mum I was so worried as when he was a few minutes old when he was born he got taken away and put in the NICU unit for days as he was struggling to breathe."

But the 33-year-old star told fans Billy has been diagnosed with tonsilitis, and he was "OK" on Tuesday morning (19.12.23), despite her still "worrying" about his breathing and coughing.

She added: "Last night we got told after eight hours by the doctors that he has tonsilitis.

"He is OK this morning just still worrying about his breathing and coughing.

"Just lots of cuddles with mummy and daddy this morning. My darling Billy. (sic)"

Amy gave birth to Billy and his twin sister Amelia in April.

The star's fiance and the twins' father Billy Delbosq admitted he felt "so helpless" when his boy was in hospital this week.

He wrote on Instagram: "Poor little man.. As a dad you feel so helpless when they're ill, but fingers crossed he'll be on the mend (sic)"

Amy admitted she and her fiance "100 per cent need some sleep" after their eight-hour hospital ordeal.
