Love Island star rushes baby to hospital as he struggles with infection

Love Island star Jessica Shears has updated fans on her baby boy's health, following a trip to A&E this evening.

The reality TV star, who shares her son with fellow Love Island star Dom Lever, took to her Instagram Stories tonight to ask her followers for any advice as she tries to get to the bottom of what is wrong with her child.

Jess explained how she had spent time in a local A&E with her youngest child, whom she welcomed into the world in June this year, with suspected bronchitis.

The star - who met her husband on the ITV2 reality show in 2017 - wrote: "Spent last night in a&e with the little one. They think he has bronchitis – any tips for helping him feel better welcome."

Jess - who is also mum to two-year-old son Presley - went on to reassure her fans her youngest child is currently ok.

She told her fans: "He perked up in the end and they let us go home said to just monitor is breathing and eating. Apparently it’s going around atm."

The mum-of-two went on to share a snap of her poorly son smiling, explaining how he "was happy and in good spirits" this morning but got "upset and grumpy" this afternoon.

Sharing a screen recording of all the messages she received from fans offering advice, Jess thanked her followers for their tips - adding how she was "eternally grateful" for their support.

Jess and her husband Dom first hit it off in the Love Island villa back in 2017 but were torn away from one another when Jess was dumped from the show.

However, the pair continued their romance on the outside world, with Dom popping the question just three months on from the ITV2 show's live final airing.

Speaking to OK! magazine about Dom's proposal, Jess said at the time: "It happened the night before the TV Choice Awards. We were staying in a lovely apartment in London.

"Dom filled it with flowers and had got us a bottle of champagne. I was doing a SnapChat video saying how lucky I felt when he called me out onto the terrace. I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when Dom got down on one knee - he said afterwards that he had never seen me smile like that!"

Dom added: "Before I went on Love Island I would have judged someone for proposing this quickly, but spending so much time together in the villa really cemented my feelings for Jess."

The happy couple became parents for the first time in September 2019, when their son Presley was born, and their family grew earlier this year thanks to their youngest's arrival.

Jess and Dom are yet to publicly reveal the name of their second child.
