Jess Wright’s son, 4, rushed to hospital after ‘freak’ bouncy castle accident left him ‘struggling to breathe’
JESS Wright’s son Presley has been rushed to hospital after a “freak” bouncy castle accident that left him “struggling to breathe”.
The terrified mum, 40, took to her Instagram stories to tell her followers about what had happened to her four-year-old.
She shared a snap of Presley on a stretcher with his head in a brace as she penned: “Scariest day of my life.
“Have thanked God every day that he’s ok because it was truly horrendous seeing him in the state he was here & just before.”
The former TOWIE star explained that Presley fell three metres from a bouncy castle and landed on a hard wooden floor.
Sharing another post of her little boy lying in her arms, Jess divulged: “The love I feel for this child physically hurts.
“We had a really scary thing happen at a bday party on Saturday and he’s been so clingy (even more than usually) ever since.
“Presley got catapulted off the top of a bouncy castle high in the air and landed face down on hard wooden floor from about three metres high.
“A noise that silence the whole party and will haunt me I’m sure.
“My baby was struggling to breathe and then passed out in our arms until coming to in what felt like ages later but probably about five seconds.
“To say he was in a state is an understatement as well as mum and dad.
“We were blue lit to the trauma unit in London and on the journey things were being discussed like broken ribs, spine injury and worse.
“Miraculously when we arrived the show had subsided slightly and pain killers kicked in and a few hours later we were released with no injuries other than a few bruises, a very sore little boy and traumatised parents.”
The mum-of-one continued: “Like most I’m sure, Will and I are so very panicky around Presley’s safety especially because of his heart condition, so the face this happened to him, we were beside ourselves.
“It was a freak accident that couldn’t have been avoided but I will say I’ll be more careful in future if the bouncy castle is on a wooden floor oppose to mates or I guess maybe grass.
“Thank you to all the families at the party who helped us at the time and were there to support us.
“We had a lucky escape but I wanted to say the biggest thank you to the paramedics in the @nhsenglandldn ambulance team and the doctors at Royal London hospital.”
She later shared an update and said Presley was “playing games” and she was “grateful for his recovery”.
Jess and her husband William Lee-Kemp found out in 2024 that Presley has a heart condition called biscuspid aortic valve.
In April, she shared a health update on her podcast Wright At Home with her mum Carol and sister Natalya.
She explained: “The other day the doctor said that actually, it has reduced which is really, really rare, it doesn’t happen often. He’s doing really, really well.”
As she got emotional, she continued: “You hold it together for these checks and then you kind of hold it together after because you get good news.
“To be in that kind of agonising wait not knowing if it’s going to be a good result or the worst news, every four months is just not easy.”
Carol added: “It went really well, and they got good news that it’s improved.”
