Chloe Goodman reveals newborn son is being treated for suspected meningitis

Chloe Goodman was 'terrified' after her newborn son was rushed to the hospital with suspected meningitis.

The Ex On The Beach star gave birth to her baby last month, her second child with her fiancé Grant Hall.

Sources close to Chloe claimed that the little one came down with a 'rash all over his body' on Monday.

And today, the star took to her Instagram Stories to confirm the news.

"As you are aware, I've been in the hospital for the last couple of days with my little boy. He got this horrible, horrible rash all over his body and a really high temperature," she said.

"I took him to A&E and asked them if it was a viral infection as when I push a glass on his rash it goes away. They said to me that it's a common misconception with meningitis. That's when meningitis has really taken hold when the rash doesn't go.

"But when it's first starting out it can disappear when you run a glass over it."

The glass test is a really useful way of spotting suspected meningitis.

She then showed the set up of the hospital room, which had her bed placed next to her son's so that she 'doesn't leave his side'.

The star went on to say that it might be a couple of days before they know for sure what's wrong.

Her son has been put on a drip for meningitis and sepsis as doctors didn't want to wait that long for the results.

Before Chloe confirmed the news, sources close to the star revealed that he came up with a high temperature.

The insider claimed to OK! : "He and Chloe had to stay in overnight last night and he's on a drip at the moment while they run tests. Chloe's had lots of complications during her pregnancy.

"She wanted everything to run smoothly and this is really worrying for her."

The Mirror has contacted Chloe's reps for comment.

Chloe and Grant - who already share one-year-old Isla - welcomed their son following a 'complicated labour' last month.

"Grant and I are overjoyed to announce the news that we've welcomed a healthy baby boy to the family," she announced to OK! magazine.

"Isla is so excited to be a big sister. There's been a few complications, but once I'm fully healed I'll be sharing the full story."

In January, glamorous Chloe revealed she was having a baby boy and has explained that the baby will most likely be the last child she has.

She discussed her excitement about expanding her family and told Closer magazine : "We are extremely lucky to have Isla and now a baby boy... I'm over the moon after everything we've been through.”
