Georgia Kousoulou has shared a health update on her daughter Gigi after rushing newborn to A&E following a terrifying health scare.

The former TOWIE star, 33, welcomed her second child with husband Tommy Mallet, 31, last month.

Georgia, who also shares son Brody, two, with Tommy, hurried Gigi to hospital after noticing she came down with bronchitis.

Bronchitis is inflammation of the airways in the lungs that is usually caused by an infection. It often gets better without treatment in around 3 weeks.

Now, Georgia has revealed Gigi is being discharged for hospital, just in time to spend Christmas at home with her family.

Alongside a snap of Georgia cradling her baby girl, she penned: ‘Time to get you home for Christmas baby girl. After a long stressful week in hospital Gigi is allowed home.. Gigi bronchitis got worse & she needed to be on oxygen.

‘What Iv learnt most is always go with your gut & if you think your baby isn’t well always check it out!

‘Thank you to the nurses & doctors at princess Alexandra hospital in Harlow. They were incredible with GIGI.

‘Thank you to our family for keeping things going at home with brody.. & our friends for checking in, we love you.’

Georgia also shared a positive update earlier this week, admitting: ‘Guys thank you so much more messaging me about Gigi. She is doing well but bronchitis not a joke, it is awful. It is so scary, as you can see I’m still in my pyjamas.

‘My mum’s here and Tom’s dad is downstairs. I’ve had Tom’s mum here, Brody’s off school for Christmas and now I don’t want him to get it. When you’ve got a newborn and a toddler, it is so hard.

‘I have been up all night just watching her breathe, if your child has had bronchitis you will know what I’m talking about because they just gasp for breath. It is not nice, it’s really not nice.’

She added: ‘I’m feeding little and often and checking her temperature all the time and just watching her breathing all the time.

‘Her chest was going in a little bit when she was breathing but mildly. I’m keeping her up right, that is all you can do.’

It comes after Georgia shared the adorable moment her son Brody met his newborn baby sister for the first time.

The youngster beamed at Gigi and gave a thumbs up as he carefully cradled her, while Gigi wrapped up warmly in a pale pink blanket.

Little Gigi sported a pink bow on her head and was clearly camera ready as she stuck her tongue out for the photo.

Captioning the touching moment, Georgia penned: ‘This feeling is like no other. Thank you for all the love.’

Sharing her happy baby news on Instagram last month, Georgia penned: ‘Introducing you .. GIGI Fordham. Born on 22.11 weighing 8 pound 12. Our darling girl, We are so in love, our hearts could burst. Thank you god for answering our prayers.’

Georgia announced her pregnancy back in May, one year after she tragically suffered a miscarriage.

Taking to Instagram to announce the news, she wrote: ‘Our little rainbow baby due December. Words can’t express the emotions we have, we have prayed, wished & with a little help it’s happened..

‘I can’t thank my team enough. Rehan Salim you are the best IVF specialist – I’m so blessed we met you & Michelle my amazing nurse who helped me every step of the way!

‘These guys made my experience with IVF so much better than I could of [sic] even imagined.

‘I was so scared as all the things I had heard beforehand but they were simply the best & held my hand the whole way through. Thank you for giving us the best gift of all.

‘To anyone watching who is suffering… I am with you & I know how you feel. I pray this post doesn’t trigger you. I know how hard it is seeing announcements. Please know you are not alone & please don’t give up hope.’

Georgia previously said she will ‘never get over the feeling’ of losing her baby after she suffered a devastating miscarriage at 12 weeks.

The star had started having therapy after struggling with emotional triggers and feeling ‘drained’ by grief.
