The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs ended up at A&E on Monday night after her son Billy had a health scare.

Amy, 33, revealed how she and fiancé Billy Delbosq had to take the eight-month-old to hospital because he was ‘struggling to breathe’.

The reality TV star wrote in an Instagram Story post: ‘Thank you for all your messages about baby Billy, sadly we ended up in A&E last night waiting eight hours to be seen.’

‘Bill’s coughing got worse and was struggling to breathe,’ she added.

Amy continued: ‘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.

‘Last night we got told after eight hours by the doctors that he has tonsilitis.’

‘He is OK this morning, just so worrying about his breathing and coughing. Just lots of cuddles with mummy and daddy today,’ she said.

‘My darling Billy,’ Amy wrote, insisting she and Billy ‘100 percent need some sleep.’

Amy’s latest post came after she celebrated National Twin Day by sharing some sweet snaps on Instagram.

The TV personality and her other half welcomed Billy and his twin sister Amelia back in April.

Announcing their birth, Amy previously posted alongside some hospital pics: ‘Welcome to the world our beautiful little twins. Born 06/04/23 7.04pm twin 1.

‘7.05pm twin 2. Mummy and Daddy love you so so much.. We’ve been in a complete baby bubble the past few days.. Our family is now finally complete.. 🥰 @billydelbosq8 you have been incredible the last few days .. I love you so much .. 💙💗 xxx.’

Amy’s labour was a ‘long and exhausting’ one, sources said at the time, with her manager later telling Metro.co.uk she was now the mum of twins.

A close friend revealed: ‘Amy’s welcomed boy and girl twin babies. She’s overjoyed, but exhausted after a long labour.’

In Amy’s ITVBe show, titled The Twin life, she revealed how baby Billy was hospitalised with fluid in his lungs shortly after his birth.

The newborn was taken to the neo-natal unit for two days before being allowed home.
