Billie Shepherd has revealed that her daughter Margot was rushed to hospital after suffering a ‘terrifying and upsetting’ medical incident at home.
The former TOWIE star, 34, shares three children with her husband Greg – Nelly, 10, Arthur, seven, and Margot, 22 months.
Billie took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that Margot had a febrile convulsion – a seizure which can sometimes occur when a child has a fever.
Margot was rushed to A&E and her mum shared a picture of the tot recovering in a hospital bed, cuddling her baby doll toy.
‘My little darling Margot,’ Billie wrote. ‘We ended up in hospital yesterday as Margot had another febrile seizure due to a high temperature.

‘It really is just so terrifying and upsetting but she is on the mend now.’
In May, Billie recalled the terrifying moment she screamed to ‘call an ambulance’ as her daughter Margot was rushed to hospital after another seizure earlier in the year.
Billie reflected on the frightening moment her daughter ‘went stiff’ after her temperature spiked, leading her to rush the tot to A&E.
She reflected on the dramatic health scare in the first episode of the new series of Billie and Greg: The Family Diaries, which aired on Thursday.
In the episode, a voiceover said: ‘Billie and Greg are faced with an emergency, resulting in little Margot being rushed to hospital.’
Billie then shared in a VT: ‘We were at Greg’s sister’s having lunch and Margot wasn’t 100% that day, she had flushed cheeks.
‘She could have been teething, it was nothing out of the ordinary. The kids were having some food, I turned around and Margot had gone completely stiff.
‘Straight away I grabbed her out the high chair, all I remember is me screaming: “Someone help me” and then she stopped breathing. I screamed: “Someone call an ambulance!”‘
Billie continued: ‘For me, my head…’ she then broke down in tears, before being comforted by her husband Greg.

She then continued: ‘When we got to the hospital, they said she had a febrile seizure, where basically her temperate had spiked so quickly and her body tried to regulate her temperature. As a result of that, some babies and young children have seizures.
‘Once we were in the hospital, I definitely felt like I was in the right place, where I needed to be, it just made me feel a little bit more reassured.’
‘After six hours in A&E, the doctors sent us home and asked us just to keep an eye on Margot.’
The mother-of-three previously revealed her daughter Margot’s health scare back in March, after her little one contracted a virus.
In an Instagram post she wrote: ‘One exhausted mumma. My little darling Margot has had a nasty virus, on Sunday Margot had a febrile seizure, it was the most terrifying moment of my life.

‘It was caused due to a spike in her temperature, I was so scared and didn’t know what to do, we of course called an ambulance and Margot was examined at the hospital.
‘After speaking to numerous doctors since they all said the same thing to me, that they are quite common but not spoken about, So I’m sharing this because it may encourage some of you to research what to do in this situation.
‘Margot is slowly getting better ❤️.’
