Traitors star Paul Gorton has revealed that his month-old baby has been rushed to hospital.
The TV star, who welcomed Cooper with partner Kate Waldron in November, has shared that their young son has been diagnosed with bronchitis and has been put on oxygen and an ITV drop for fluids.
Paul took to Instagram to thank friends for the messages they had received, with his partner admitting their son's condition had gotten worse. She also added that he hadn't eaten in 12 hours as having milk in his stomach was making it harder to breathe, describing the situation as "horrible".
He wrote on Instagram: "Thanks for the messages everyone, really means a lot. Cooper has bronchitis and is currently on an IV and oxygen getting the best care. Hoping he turns a corner and improves as soon as possible."
He went on to share his partner's message and a heartbreaking photo of their tiny son in hospital and hooked up to an IV. She wrote: "Thank you all so much for all your kind messages about Cooper. Unfortunately yesterday he got worse and needed to be put on oxygen and an IV drip for fluids. I had to stop breastfeeding because having milk in his stomach was making breathing harder for him so he's been nil by mouth for over 12 hours now and they are going to tube feed him small amounts soon from what I have pumped.
"As you can imagine for a newborn not to have milk he was very very unsettled so we gave him a dummy to finally get him to sleep and since then he has been flat out! Just not how you expect to see a baby so young, it's so heartbreaking to see and to not even be able to feed and comfort my own baby is just horrible."
The couple, who are also parents to toddler Charlie, announced the arrival of son Cooper on November 21st in an adorable post on Instagram. Sharing the news, Kate wrote: "Welcome to the world Cooper. What a crazy last couple of days! My waters broke and he was here later that day weighing a chunky 8.7lbs, the exact same weight Charlie was!
"Enjoying every second of newborn bliss as a family of 5 as we know how fast it goes this time around!!" Paul added with a laughing emoji: "We’ve packed A LOT into a year."
His Traitors co-stars flocked to the comments to give their congratulations, with winner Harry Clark writing: "Mini traitor!" While Brian Davidson wrote: "Aw yay! Congrats!"
