Harry Judd’s three-year-old son Lockie was rushed to hospital after an accident.
The McFly star, 38, shares Lockie, daughter Lola, seven, and son Kit, five, with wife Izzy, and his spouse took to Instagram on Wednesday to detail the ‘traumatic’ few days the family had suffered and issue a warning to other parents.
Alongside a black and white snap holding her youngest child’s hand, the author, 40, revealed her son was rushed to A&E after he got hold of a washing pod and split the contents in his eye.
She explained: ‘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.’
Izzy continued: ‘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 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.
‘So please, please put cleaning products high up and completely out of reach- this has been my scariest moment as a mum, I’m so sorry for others who have experienced these kind of awful accidents too.’
The NHS advises that if you get a strong chemical, such as oven cleaner or bleach, in your eye you should go to A&E or call 999 and keep rinsing your eye with water while waiting for medical help.
Harry is making the most of quality time with family before his band McFly head out on a joint tour with Busted next year.
During McFly’s gig this month to celebrate he band’s 21st birthday, they brought out Busted to reveal the exciting news.
Busted said: ‘Right now here tonight, we challenge you to the ultimate face off, next year, 2025 Busted Vs McFly the tour. The Challenge is yours if you choose to accept it.’
The two noughties bands explained how they will battle it out on a 14-date tour to be crowned the best.
Busted’s James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis, said: ‘The whole tour is to find out who’s a better band. Fans can decide. They can come and support their band and they might change their mind. It’s going to be a fight to the death.’
Matt continued: ‘It has been a long time coming, this tour. Fans have wanted this. There’s a massive crossover in the fanbases but secretly I think everyone likes Busted more.’
McFly – made up of Harry, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter – previously joined forces with Matt and James to form McBusted, releasing a Top Ten album and touring the world.
But the super band split when Charlie decided to rejoin Busted, ten years after quitting.
Charlie, who had hits including Crashed The Wedding and You Said No with Busted, explained: ‘[McBusted] was a different thing. This is very much, we’re doing it as two different bands.
‘The way we’ve set up the show is different to a normal show. It’s not a co-headline tour and there are going to be some surprises along the way which people genuinely won’t have seen before.’
McFly achieved 18 consecutive UK top 20 singles, seven of which peaked at number one in the UK Singles Chart. They also won the 2005 Brit Award for Best British Pop Act.
Meanwhile, Busted, from Southend-on-Sea, enjoyed four UK number one singles, won two Brit Awards, and sold over five million records worldwide.
