Billie Shepherd has revealed her youngest daughter Margot had to be rushed to hospital by an ambulance after suffering a febrile seizure last week.
The former TOWIE star, 34, took to Instagram on Thursday to detail the frightening encounter, while also reassuring fans Margot, 15 months, is ‘slowly getting better’.

In the post, she wrote: ‘One exhausted mumma. My little darling Margot has had a nasty virus, on Sunday Margot had a febrile seizure, it was the most terrifying moment of my life.
