Hollyoaks alum Scarlett Bowman has told fans that her son Rafael was rushed to hospital following a "scary accident."
The 35-year-old actor, who played Maddie Morrison on the Channel 4 soap, shared the news with her 8,800 followers on Instagram yesterday, as reported by OK! earlier today.
In the post, Scarlett - who has two children with husband Rob Colicci - shared a black and white photo of the eldest, two-year-old Rafael, with a bandage on his forehead.
She wrote: "We had a very scary accident on Friday night just before bath time. My poor bubba fell into our almost baby proofed glass coffee table and had to be rushed to hospital."
The actor, who appeared on Hollyoaks between 2011 and 2012, said that they had to take a taxi as there weren't any ambulances available at the time.
She said in the recent post: "No ambulance was available for up to an hour. Could have been longer. We didn't wait for more than 10 minutes and jumped into a cab."
The former soap star continued: "He needed surgery to repair it but as he is recovering from a respiratory virus he was not able to have it (thank god). We are safe back home and resting but he will have one heck of a scar."
She asked for "scar treatment" recommendations and added: "The scariest thing about the whole episode was that we couldn't get an ambulance when we most needed it. Thank you Dr Cyrus for coming to our rescue # nhs."
The accident comes five months after the actor gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Juno Rose, with husband Rob - who's understood to be a business director.
She revealed the news by sharing a photo of her newborn asleep and later posted a snap from the hospital, where she could be seen cradling her baby while joined by Rob.
