Binky Felstead's baby son rushed to hospital after suffering terrifying allergic reaction

Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead's baby son has been rushed to hospital after suffering a terrifying allergic reaction.

It comes after a difficult week for the reality star after her dog was involved in a hit-and-run.

Taking to Instagram, Binky revealed that the family had been eating lunch when her son Wolfie began turning red and had white spots on his face.

She and her partner then rushed to the nearest pharmacist and phoned 999, with an ambulance arriving within four minutes.

Their son was rushed to a hospital in Gloucestershire 40 minutes away and that they had been told that their son had suffered from anaphylactic shock.

Binky said that the situation was "very scary" but thanked staff for helping them.

Sharing a selection of pictures of their son in hospital - with his face swollen and reddened - she wrote: "Blimey- Looking forward to a new week!!

"What with Pedro being hit by a van … now Wolfie being rushed off in a ambulance after a bad reaction to what we think is the sesame in the hummus he had at lunch. All very quickly he started to get incredibly uncomfortable and was continuously rubbing his face and getting upset.

"He went bright red all over his face & hands and white little spots appeared shortly before his eye, lips & tongue started to swell. We left the restaurant immediately & drove to the nearest pharmacist who said to call 999 … which we did and these incredible paramedics arrived within 4 minutes!

"All very scary, they said hes had a anaphylaxis shock and gave Wolfie a small adrenaline shot. They were worried about him becoming unable to breath so put the sirens on, drove pretty bloody quickly and we had our first experience in a ambulance!

"Wolfies face started calming down again luckily & he was loving the noises & all the exciting things dangling off inside of the ambulance. He also got a bear to keep for being so brave.

"We got to a hospital in Gloucestershire 40 mins away who have also been amazing. They’ve kept us all calm, explained a huge amount & we have just been discharged after them keeping a close eye on him for 5 hours.

"We have left with two epi-pens & a whole lot of info. First thing on my to do list next week is get Wolfie to a skin / allergy specialist! WOAH - so many emotions again.

"The NHS and all the team have been nothing short of amazing. The family and I are unbelievably grateful for everything you did today.

"#NHS THANK YOU."

Her friends flocked to the comments, with Louise Thompson writing: "Oh bloody hell bonky ! What a week from hell sending love love love."

Kimberley Walsh commented: "Oh gosh bless you! So glad you here he’s on the mend! So bloody scary! Sending love."
