Love Island legend Shaughna Phillips rushes daughter to urgent care as she gives update on health scare
LOVE Island star Shaughna Phillips revealed she rushed her daughter to urgent care this weekend.
The ITV2 reality star told fans she rushed Lucia, 14 months, for medical assistance after becoming worried she had an infection following a cut to her finger.
Taking to instagram, Shaughna posted a snap of Lucia sleeping on her after her ordeal.
Explaining what happened, the devoted mum wrote: “A little trip up Urgent Care today.”
She then went on to reassure her followers that all was now well with Lucia.
“She’s absolutely fine but hurt her finger the other day and I thought it had become infected,” Shaughna continued.
“She was such a little angel for the nurse and got the all clear for infection (yay) Just gotta keep an eye on it and continue to bathe it in salt water.”
She concluded the post: “She’s not fell asleep on me forever and I’m loving every second.”
The blonde then shared an image of her daughter’s finger looking inflamed and swollen.
“Her lil finger hurts my heart,” Shaughna wrote, alonside a sad face emoji.
She then went on to joke: “I just want to wrap her in bubble wrap with a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, shin pads, gum shield and goalkeeper gloves. Is that too much to ask?”
Shaughna gave birth to Lucia last April and has raised her as a single mum since her baby’s dad Billy Webb was sentenced to nine years in jail.
Billy was arrested when she was 30 weeks pregnant and admitted conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000.
Back in December, Shaughna spoke out on the Oh Baby podcast and begged fans not to judge her for taking Lucia to visit her dad behind bars.
She said: before I was in this position, before I had a baby, if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison, the answer would be absolutely not. Anyone that does that is crazy.
“And then, lo and behold, I’m now in this position. And I think the thing is, we’re always going to be co-parents.
