star Ashley James shared an emotional statement on Monday morning, revealing that her three-year-old son was in A&E.
DJ, model, and presenter , has appeared on the morning magazine show several times, often as a guest panelist or host.
On social media, the former star, 36, has always been open and honest, providing updates about her home and family life – she shares her two children with partner Tom Andrews.
On Monday, she revealed that she was with her daughter Ada while she was off sick from school while her son Alfie was in A&E with dad Tom after suffering a nasty fall.
The following day, Ashley gave a positive update, stressing that Alfie was ‘fine’.
In the original video posted on her Instagram story, she said: ‘Quite the dramatic start to the week. Definitely crash landed back from a child-free weekend. Little lady was up poorly in the night weren’t you?’ she said to one-year-old Ada.
Her story continued: ‘She’s not at nursery today as she’s a bit poorly, aren’t you? You’ve got a bit of a temperature.’
She then revealed the unfortunate news about little Alfie, explaining what had happened to the previous day that saw him wind up needing medical care.
‘Tommy is at A&E with Alfie. Yesterday, Alf fell in the playground before I got home. He loves the fireman’s pole but he basically just fell from high and he’s been complaining about his sore ankle.’
Her story carried on: ‘The thing is with Alf is he’s quite dramatic so he really over-eggs any illness. He’s always asking for ice packs.
‘He can be a bit of a drama boy. But he woke up this morning and still said his ankle was sore and then Tommy got him dressed and he was really crying.’
And her suspicions turned out to be true, with an update provided two hours later confirming that Alfie was ‘faking it’ and therefore ‘okay’, laughing about the ordeal with Ada.
Ashley also revealed that all of the above had unfortunately occurred on a day when a ‘big meeting’ was planned for her, teasing fans about her upcoming projects and ideas.
Because Ada was off sick from nursery, Ashley also mentioned that her daughter well be joining her in the meeting and was hoping she’d make a good ‘first impression’.
On Tuesday, Ashley gave an update on how her son was doing, sharing a new post on her Instagram Story with the caption: ‘Alf was faking it 🤣 so he’s fine! ❤️🙏🤣.’
