Lucy Mecklenburgh reveals her son Roman, 2, is in hospital battling a virus 

Lucy Mecklenburgh has updated fans on her son Roman’s health, revealing that he is battling a virus — nearly a year to the day he was discovered “blue in his crib.”

The reality star previously shared how her son spent a week in intensive care and on a ventilator last September, describing it as “every parent’s worst nightmare.”

The TV fave, 31, who shares her son with former Corrie actor Ryan Thomas, revealed on Sunday that Roman is back in the hospital, but reassured fans that the two-year-old is on the mend and just needed “some help” to fight against the disease.

The mother of two took Roman for emergency medical treatment after contracting an infection in kindergarten.

On her Instagram story, the former TOWIE star shared a photo of the toddler in a hospital ward with the closet curtains drawn.

At the photo she thought, “Meant to be on a beach. Why did I send Roman to kindergarten this week?’

She then reassured fans that Roman was on the mend, explaining: “He’s fine, he just needs a little help fighting viruses sometimes. Nebulizer, oxygen, steroids, antibiotics. Bless him, I wish I had kept him from kindergarten and brought him to the sun sooner.”

Last year, Roman spent nearly a week in intensive care and was diagnosed with “viral-induced wheezing.”

Lucy wrote at the time: “As some of you may have noticed, we haven’t been on social media lately. A little over a week ago, I found Roman Blue in his bed—probably any parent’s worst nightmare.

“Without going into two details, Roman was transferred to St Mary’s London intensive care unit and put on a ventilator. Luckily we’re all home now and Roman is his sassy self again.’

Lucy said the experience prompted her to volunteer for sick children’s charities and the hospital where Roman was admitted.

Lucy is also mother to daughter Lilah, three months old, who herself suffered a health scare last month when she was rushed to hospital and given oxygen after getting “really bad” with bronchiolitis.

Lilah contracted bronchiolitis from Roman, who picked up the condition in kindergarten, and suffered “coughing and choking” before being rushed to hospital.

The health update comes after the fitness guru candidly revealed the realities of her post-pregnancy body earlier this month in a Q&A with her Instagram followers, in which she said she struggles to find the time to exercise, just like most other people. .

The television star revealed that she’s gone up two dress sizes and that her busy life rarely leaves time for exercise – though she’s made peace with it.

During the chat, a follower asked ‘Are you back to your pre-pregnancy weight? Do you sport? diet? I don’t love myself anymore’.

Lucy agreed to write: ‘I get it, so many changes in our body so fast that sometimes it seems like I’m not familiar with my body’.

“I have wider hips, a bigger stomach and breasts and two dress sizes larger than before Lilah.”

She continued: ‘I am about a stone heavier than before, but try not to weigh myself too much. I rarely have time to exercise, but I love post-natal Pilates. I try to walk a few times a week and run after a toddler all day haha’.

‘In terms of nutrition, I’ve started to try to eat as much as I used to, mainly for energy and to feel good’.

She concluded: ‘Bath cooking helps and quick simple meals that everyone in the house will eat. I don’t follow a restrictive diet but balance and variety’.
