Billie Shepherd has revealed that her youngest daughter Margot had to be taken to hospital by ambulance after suffering a bout of fever last week.
The former TOWIE star, 34, took to Instagram on Thursday to detail the terrifying encounter, while also reassuring fans that Margot, 15 months, is ‘slowly getting better’.
A febrile seizure can sometimes happen when a child has a high temperature. It’s usually not serious, but it’s important to get medical attention if your child has a seizure.
Billie shares Margot as well as daughter Nelly, nine, and son Arthur, six, with husband Greg Shepherd.
In the post she wrote: ‘An exhausted mother. My little darling Margot has had a nasty virus, last Sunday Margot had a fever, it was the scariest moment of my life.

‘It was caused by a rise in her temperature, I was so scared and didn’t know what to do, of course we called an ambulance and Margot was examined in hospital.
‘After talking to several doctors they all told me the same thing that they are quite common but not talked about so I’m sharing this because it might encourage some of you to look into what to do in this situation.
