I'm A Celebrity bosses won't be telling Jamie Lomas his daughter was rushed to hospital
He shares his daughter with Kym Marsh
Last updated 6th Dec 2017
Former Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas is currently in the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle in Australia, but show bosses will not be telling him some serious news about his daughter.
It was reported yesterday that Jamie's six-year-old daughter Polly, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh, had been rushed to hospital last week.
Revealing the scary news in her OK! Magazine column, Kym said, "There was a bit of a drama in our household last week."
She continued, "Polly started to develop a cough and a cold, but on Wednesday night at 11.30pm she just started gasping for breath."
The actress went to on to say how she had to rush Polly to her local hospital, where she was diagnosed with croup, something that normally only affects children up to the age of three - but Polly is six-years-old.
“It was horrible and her cough sounded like she was sea lion," the mum of four recounted, "I didn’t get to bed until 5am and even then I couldn’t sleep."
She continued, “The hospital were brilliant and the staff put Polly at ease because she was terrified. It was really horrible to see.”
Thankfully, Polly is now home and well, but Kym added that it was "really horrible to see."
However as he continues to win meals for his camp mates on I'm A Celebrity, Jamie has not been made aware that his little girl was seriously ill.
A show insider told a national newspaper, "He hasn’t been told while he’s in the jungle. Because it happened while Jamie was in the jungle, it's not something he'd know about."
Kym recently uploaded an adorable video of her daughter cheering her dad on whilst watching him in the jungle, and was praised for encouraging her to say nice things about him.
Fans flocked to Twitter with replies to say what a good job they thought she was doing of co-parenting, with one writing. 'Well done to you for ensuring your little girl is proud of her daddy. You obviously both put her 1st where a lot of separated parents do not.'
In tonight's I'm A Celebrity episode, Jamie will take on the latest Bushtucker Trial to win food for his camp mates.
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here continues on ITV tonight at 9pm with Ant and Dec.
