McFly star Harry Judd's son, 3, taken to hospital after chemical accident

Pop star Harry Judd's three-year-old son was taken to hospital after getting chemicals in his eye. Izzy, the McFly drummer's wife, and mother to Lola, seven, Kit, five, and three-year-old Lockie, has shared a stark warning with other parents following their youngest child's injury.

Their son Lockie had "burst open" a laundry pod, resulting in serious harm to his eyes. On Instagram, Izzy posted: "It's been a traumatic few days... the reason I'm sharing this is because i don't want another family to experience this and although we all get told the risks of cleaning products at home, reminders are always important [prayer emoji].

"So Lockie managed to get hold of a washing pod which he then burst open and managed to get into his eyes very badly. In that split second I wasn't there, I also forgot to put the washing pods away [broken heart emoji]."

She continued: "We rushed to the hospital... Lockie's Ph levels in his eyes were 8 and they needed to be 7. It took all night flushing out Lockie's eyes with 22 litres of fluid before finally getting the ph down. We couldn't be more grateful to the @‌nhsengland A+E nurses who showed unbelievable dedication and kindness, not only to Lockie but also to me.(sic)"

The 40-year-old musician has shared her traumatic experience, confessing it was "pretty horrendous" to watch her young son undergo treatment. She is still keeping a close eye on him as his right eye was injured from the chemical exposure.

In a heartfelt message, she revealed: "As you can imagine it was pretty horrendous having to watch and put Lockie through that, he doesn't like getting his hair washed let alone having to lie there for 10 minutes for each litre of fluid [crying emoji].

"We are now being closely monitored as his right eye is injured from the chemicals, we are in the best hands though and I'm so grateful to the specialists. Little Lockie is such a determined and brave little boy.(sic)"

Izzy concluded with a stark reminder about household safety, saying: "So please, please put cleaning products high up and completely out of reach- this has been my scariest moment as a mum, I'm so sorry for others who have experienced these kind of awful accidents too [heart hand emoji] (sic)."

Following her post, which went live on Wednesday, support flooded in from her followers. One fan sympathised: "Accidents happen. Please be kind to yourself xx," reports the Mirror.

Medical professional Dr Zoe Williams also left a comment under Izzy's post, expressing: "Oh Izzy, so sorry you both went through this. Sending [love] and thank you for sharing - a really helpful reminder to us all! Xxx."

Another individual offered empathy and thanks, saying: "Terrifying for you and little Lockie. Sending you lots of love and thank you for sharing this. A great reminder for everyone."
