EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield, known for playing Lucy Beale, has shared that she was forced to spend her Sunday night in A&E after her son fell ill
EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield has rushed her son to hospital.
The actress, who played Lucy Beale on the beloved soap in the noughties, has shared that her son had to be rushed to hospital with a mysterious issue this weekend.
Sharing snaps from inside an A&E waiting room, the actress shared that her holiday had come to an end with her six-year-old son named River needing medical attention. “Not the most fun way to round off the holiday,” she captioned a post on her Instagram story.
Later on Sunday evening she shared: “We just got home, I’ll fill you in later on River once I’ve got him to bed. I’m really intrigued to know if anyone has ever had anything similar happen to their kid and what the f*** it was?!”
The star, 33, has yet to share more about her son’s current status, or in fact what led them to take him to hospital in the first place.
This isn’t the first time that Melissa has shared a medical emergency with her followers. In 2022 she shared that she was forced to call an ambulance for her son after he contracted a “nasty virus”, revealing she’d been forced to take him to hospital 3 times in just over two weeks.
“Back to A&E again. That’s three visits in the last 16 days,” she shared on social media at the time. “Given 3 loads of nebuliser (he was NOT a fan) and some meds and he perked right up. Very much enjoyed having a biscuit in bed and making a friend who he called Baby, even though she was older than him.”
“Have been sent home with inhalers to wean from the various nebulisers and some more meds. Basically very pleased we went in as it’s absolutely where we needed to be. Always trust your instincts.
“Just a nasty virus being nasty. Fingers crossed it passes quickly now, I am not up for a 4th visit next week, but more than anything just pleased he’s better now.”
River was born in March 2020, and earlier this year attended his parents wedding in Vegas. Melissa married her partner of six years, Robert Brandon.
The couple got engaged in 2019, and in oner sweet shot, the newlyweds could be seen sharing a kiss in a pink Cadillac at a Vegas wedding chapel, with their son River between them.
In the caption she wrote: “When in Vegas“6 years after our cancelled Covid wedding we thought we should probably get round to making it official.
“And yes, in the most ‘us’ silly and easy-going way as possible. Can’t wait to catch you up on the rest of our trip but right now, we’re catching a flight to California!”
