Kate Ferdinand has revealed on Instagram that her young son was rushed to hospital for an emergency operation after he suffered a “freak accident”.
The 31-year-old, who is currently expecting her second child, a girl, with hubby Rio, 44, is no stranger to sharing her life online with her 1.4 million followers. However, on Friday (March 31) she took to her Instagram Story to reveal that her two-year-old son Cree had needed emergency surgery in hospital – leaving her “a complete emotional wreck”.

“I’m a complete emotional wreck mumma right now,” the star said. She then added: “Look at his little hand,” alongside crying and sad emojis.
Kate Ferdinand on her blended family
The TOWIE star is mum to Cree, with Rio, 44, and is expecting her second child with the football player-turned-pundit. Kate is also a stepmother to Rio’s three children Lorenz, 15, Tate, 13, and Tia, 11. Their mother Rebecca sadly died after a battle with cancer in 2015.
Kate recently made a sad confession about Rio’s children amid their blended family journey. Speaking on her Blended podcast, Kate said: “Coming into a blended family and not being their mum, I wanted to get everything perfect.
“It is natural I think when you have children. But there has to be a certain level to it where you are actually ok yourself too,” she then continued. “Now I’ve prioritised myself, I know that sounds selfish because my kids are my priority but I’ve prioritised doing certain things to myself.”
Star ‘sobbed’ on Mother’s Day
It comes as Kate admitted she “sobbed” on her first Mother’s Day with husband Rio.
The pair got together a year after Rio’s wife Rebecca tragically passed away, aged 34. When former TOWIE star Kate, 31, moved in with Rio, things quickly became serious, with her taking on much of the ‘mum’ role.
