TOWIE star Lydia Bright rushes baby daughter to hospital after breathing got 'really bad'

The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright took her baby daughter to the hospital after her breathing got 'really bad'.

Her one-year-old daughter was initially thought to have needed medical help when a nurse sent Lydia a direct message.

The nurse noticed little Loretta Rose was 'wheezing' and suggested they get it professionally checked as she may have required an inhaler.

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I received so many messages yesterday re Loretta's breathing," Lydia wrote on her Instagram Stories.

"Last night, it got really bad and I thought it was best to go to A&E and get it checked out."

She then shared a screenshot of the paediatric staff nurse's message.

"Sounds as she has a significant wheeze which may need an inhaler and steroids. If you feel her breathing becomes laboured and she starts sucking in under her ribs please seek medical advice

"There is some really nasty bugs going around at the moment. As a mum myself, it's awful when your little one is unwell. Keep safe."

In the next post, Lydia shared that Loretta has Bronchitis.

She later shared a screenshot of the Whatsapp messages she had sent to her mother, which had her asking her mum for advice on what to do.

"Please message as I don't want to wake her up but I'm freaking out can't stop crying," Lydia wrote to mum Debbie.

Alongside a snap of her mum with Loretta, Lydia added: "It's been a really hard 48 hours.

"No matter how old I get I will always need my mum and dad. Thank you for always being there."

Lydia welcomed Loretta with her ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin on February 21 last year.

At the time Lydia said she thought she had her "dream family", but Lee broke things off when she was 11 weeks pregnant.

Since then, the two have co-parented their daughter with the help of their family members who sometimes look after her.

During a recent Q&A on her social media, a fan asked the reality star how she found parenting as a single mum.

“It’s a big responsibility and at times overwhelming," Lydia answered.

“Juggling being a full-time mum and working full time. But I am so proud of myself. Raising Loretta is my greatest ever achievement.”
