McFly drummer Harry Judd’s wife Izzy has shared a serious warning for parents after their three-year-old son, Lockie, had to be "rushed to hospital."
The incident happened as the musician has been busy promoting McFly’s recent collaboration with Busted.
The couple, who married in 2012 and are also parents to daughter Lola, seven, and son Kit, five, experienced a “traumatic few days” after Lockie was injured by a washing pod.
Izzy posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram, holding Lockie’s small hand while he rested, capturing the emotional moment.
She captioned the update: “It’s been a traumatic few days… the reason I’m sharing this is because I don’t want another family to experience this and although we all get told the risks of cleaning products at home, reminders are always important.
“So Lockie managed to get hold of a washing pod which he then burst open and managed to get into his eyes very badly. In that split second I wasn’t there, I also forgot to put the washing pods away.”
The classical musician added: “We rushed to the hospital… Lockie’s Ph levels in his eyes were 8 and they needed to be 7. It took all night flushing out Lockie’s eyes with 22 litres of fluid before finally getting the ph down.
“We couldn’t be more grateful to the@nhsengland A&E nurses who showed unbelievable dedication and kindness, not only to Lockie but also to me. As you can imagine it was pretty horrendous having to watch and put Lockie through that, he doesn’t like getting his hair washed let alone having to lie there for 10 minutes for each litre of fluid.
“We are now being closely monitored as his right eye is injured from the chemicals, we are in the best hands though and I’m so grateful to the specialists. Little Lockie is such a determined and brave little boy.”
Izzy ended her message with a caution for parents, urging them to "please put cleaning products high up and completely out of reach."
Describing the experience as her "scariest moment as a mum," she added that her heart goes out to other families who have faced "these kind of awful accidents too."
Harry hasn't addressed the incident yet, but friends have flooded the comments with supportive messages, wishing Lockie a quick recovery.
Georgia Jones, wife of Judd’s bandmate Danny Jones penned: “Sending massive amounts of love. Here if you need us.”
“Sending so much love to you all!” Tom Fletcher’s sister and musicals star Carrie Hope Fletcher commented.
While TV presenter and comedian Joel Dommett wrote: “Ahh man this is horrid! Hope you are all ok.”
