Frankie Bridge's son in terrifying hospital dash as he struggles to breathe

Frankie Bridge has revealed her son Parker was rushed to hospital after struggling to breathe on Sunday evening.

Opening up about the horrendous ordeal, Frankie said both her sons came down with a cold over the weekend but the situation quickly deteriorated for Parker who was left 'gasping for breath.'

Seven-year-old Parker has previously suffered with croup - an infection that causes a barking cough and breathing difficulties - so Frankie's husband Wayne knew exactly what to do.

Taking to Instagram after Parker returned from hospital, Frankie told her followers: "Look at the state of me. I’ve got a nerve coming on like this haven’t I?

“Not even washed today. Yeah just one of those rubbish nights. We knew Parks was gonna get croup, we just knew it.

“The boys have runny noses to the point where Parks was in our bed because we knew it was gonna come and it did.

“So we ended up rushing to A&E when he still couldn’t breathe after awhile. They let us bring him home.

"It’s just not something you ever used to I don’t think. Seeing someone you love gasping for air. It’s just horrendous . There is nothing you can do really," said the mum.

In most cases croup can be identified by a GP and treated at home but if the airways become blocked and there's trouble breathing a trip to A&E is advised.

Frankie and husband Wayne share sons Parker and Carter, five.

While former footballer Wayne also shares son Jaydon Jean Claude from his previous relationship with model Vanessa Perroncel.

Frankie and Wayne were set up by pal James Corden in 2010.

James said of the meeting: "I got their phone numbers and I put each other’s number in the phones and I said, ‘I want this to work.’ 2 weeks later, they’re in the paper and they’re dating."'

Frankie and Wayne got engaged three years later in 2013 and tied the knot in 2014.

Speaking on Loose Women earlier this month, Frankie admitted she regrets having such a big wedding.

The pair said their vows in a lavish ceremony at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire with Frankie's Saturday bandmates - Una Foden, Rochelle Humes, Mollie King and Vanessa White - as bridesmaids.
