Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas has been kept in the dark about the fact that his six-year-old daughter Polly was rushed to the hospital by his ex-wife, Coronation Street star Kym Marsh. He is currently competing in the reality show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
The 41-year-old mum told OK! Magazine that she took their little girl to the hospital because Polly was struggling to breathe.
A show insider told The Sun, "He hasn’t been told while he’s in the jungle,"
They continued, "Because it happened while Jamie was in the jungle, it's not something he'd know about."
Kym opened up to OK! Magazine, telling them, "Polly started to develop a cough and a cold, but on Wednesday night at 11:30pm, she just started gasping for breath.
"I had to rush her over to Salford Royal Hospital. It turned out she’d got croup. It’s something that children up to the age of three can get but Polly is six."
The mum-of-four found it difficult to sleep after the trip to the hospital, saying, "It was horrible and her cough sounded like she was a sea lion.
"I didn’t get to bed until 5am and even then I couldn’t sleep.
"The hospital was brilliant and the staff put Polly at ease because she was terrified. It was really horrible to see."
According to The Sun, the six-year-old was given steroids to help with her croup, but she dearly misses her dad.
"Polly is dying to see him on the telly and is really missing him. She is going to give him the biggest cuddle ever when he comes back from the jungle," Kym shared with The Sun.
“We've been laughing at Jamie's snoring keeping everybody awake. I'm surprised it's taken that long to come out!" the soap actress continued. “It's funny they made him prime minister. If he was actually prime minister it would God help the country! He's certainly been entertaining and he's coming across well."
Kym and Jamie started dating 2008 and were married from 2012 to 2014. They had a boy, Archie, who sadly died moments after his birth in 2009. The couple welcomed Polly in March 2011.
We are glad their daughter is feeling better! We hope Polly gets to see her father soon - well, maybe not too soon, so he can win the show!
