Jess Wright's four-year-old son was rushed to hospital after a terrifying bouncy castle accident. The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 39, shared the ordeal on Instagram, revealing that her son Presley, whom she has with husband William Lee-Kemp, fell three metres from a bouncy castle and landed face down on a hard wooden floor.
Scariest Day of My Life
Taking to her Instagram stories, Wright wrote: 'Scariest day of my life. Have thanked God every day that he's ok because it was truly horrendous seeing him in the state he was here and just before.' She described how Presley was 'catapulted off the top of a bouncy castle high in the air' and landed with a noise that 'silenced the whole party and will haunt me I'm sure.'
The distressed mother added that her son was 'struggling to breathe and then passed out in our arms until coming to in what felt like ages later but probably about five seconds.' Paramedics blue-lighted him to a trauma unit in London, where discussions about broken ribs, spine injury, and worse were had.
Miraculous Recovery
Miraculously, after a few hours at the Royal London Hospital, Presley was released with only a few bruises. Wright expressed gratitude: 'We had a lucky escape but I wanted to say the biggest thank you to the paramedics in the @nhsenglandldn ambulance team and the doctors at Royal London hospital.'
The mum-of-one, who has previously spoken about her son's heart condition, admitted that the accident has left her traumatised. She urged caution with bouncy castles on wooden floors versus grass, calling it a 'freak accident that couldn't have been avoided.'
Wright concluded: 'Like most I'm sure, Will and I are so very panicky around Presley's safety especially because of his heart condition, so the fact this happened to him, we were beside ourselves.'
