McFly drummer Harry Judd's three-year-old son was hurried to hospital after getting cleaning chemicals in his eye.
Izzy, the wife of the Strictly star and mother to their children Lola, seven, Kit, five, and three-year-old Lockie, has issued a stark warning to parents about keeping cleaning products out of children's reach. This comes after their youngest son "burst open" a laundry pod, resulting in severe injuries.
Izzy shared on Instagram: "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 [prayer emoji].

"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 [broken heart emoji]."
"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.(sic)".
She revealed the ordeal with her son as "pretty horrendous", stating that her little boy is still under watchful eyes after an eye injury caused by chemicals. She shared: "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 [crying emoji].
"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. (sic)" Izzy also made another call to action to keep harmful substances at a safe distance from children.
Adding to her heartfelt message, she said: "So please, please put cleaning products high up and completely out of reach - this has been my scariest moment as a mum, I'm so sorry for others who have experienced these kind of awful accidents too [heart hand emoji] (sic)". After sharing her terrifying experience online last Wednesday, she received an outpouring of support. One user tried to comfort Izzy by commenting: "Accidents happen. Please be kind to yourself xx.", reports the Mirror.
Dr Zoe Williams chimed in with empathy, writing: "Oh Izzy, so sorry you both went through this. Sending [love] and thank you for sharing - a really helpful reminder to us all! Xxx."
While another person rooted for little Lockie's recovery: "Terrifying for you and little Lockie. Sending you lots of love and thank you for sharing this. A great reminder for everyone."
