McFly star Harry Judd's son suffers serious injury in 'scariest moment'
by Katy Hallam, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/authors/katy-hallam/ · Birmingham LiveMcFly star Harry Judd has revealed his three year old son experienced a "traumatic" accident at home, resulting in him being rushed to hospital after getting cleaning product in his eyes. Lockie sustained a serious injury to his right eye and is currently under close observation by specialists.
Harry's wife Izzy, 40, took to Instagram to share the distressing news and issue a stern warning to other parents about the dangers of household cleaning products. Posting a black and white photo of Lockie in hospital, she wrote: "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.
"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."

Izzy and her singer husband Harry, 38, also have two other children, Lola, seven, and Kit, five. Izzy 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. 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.
"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.
"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."
