McFly star Harry Judd’s son Lockie, 3, rushed to hospital as wife Izzy gives urgent warning to parents
McFly star Harry Judd’s author wife Izzy took to Instagram to reveal what had happened and to give a warning to parents after an accident at home that involved the couple’s three year old son, Lockie. Sharing a black and white photograph of herself holding hands with Lockie, Izzy wrote: “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 🙏

“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.”
