According to LeicestershireLive, Saffron and Casey's mother, Wendy, also posted the news on Instagram. She said: "Every mother/parents worst nightmare when one of your kids are unwell.
"To say it was a shock for my firstborn 27 year old healthy boy @caaseybarker had a major heart attack completely out of the blue is an understatement. His life flashed before our eyes but thank god for the doctors, his strength and @niicolecorrales quick thinking (I’ll be forever grateful) he pulled through. Thank you everyone for his well wishes."
She added: "We love you more than we could ever tell you Casey you’re such an incredible person/son/brother/dad! Now begins the journey of recovering and probably some everyday life changes but you’re here and you’re going to be well again and that’s all that matters. I love you @caaseybarker."
