FORMER EastEnders star James Bye’s son had to be rushed to hospital screaming in pain after eating a garden plant.
The actor’s wife, Victoria Bye, revealed that her youngest boy, two, had eaten something he had found growing outside.
James Bye – who was killed off in the BBC soap’s live 40th anniversary episode early this year – shares four kids with wife Victoria.
The family recently revealed they are living in caravan after selling their “forever home”.
Victoria has now issued a warning about garden plants, and the ones you may not know are poisonous.
It came after she had to rush her youngest to A&E after ate a harmful plant by mistake and was left “screaming” in pain.
The concerned mum-of-four wrote: “So. More of a public service announcement than a post really but as we all know, life with kids is anything but predictable..
“So, after spending the night in hospital (I swear they’ll start charging us rent soon) after Rufus decided to snack on a plant in the garden — one I didn’t even know was dangerous. All hell let loose.
“Within minutes his tongue had started to swell, he was screaming & we had to call 999. (As always – NHS heroes, honestly.)
“Thankfully he’s absolutely fine now 🙏🏼 but it turned out the culprit was Italian Arum, a really common plant with bright orange berries that looks innocent but is seriously toxic if ingested.”
CARAVAN LIFE
Just last month, Victoria revealed how the family had moved into a caravan after they sold their “forever home” .
The couple and their four children and two blind dogs upticks to living in a field after their home was bought.
Victoria wrote on Instagram on June 2: “It’s official …because we’ve only gone and sold our ‘forever home’.
“And not only that. We’ve done it so that we can move into a field – and into a caravan…
“Yes, you read that right. A tin box on wheels with barely enough room to swing a cat let alone four kids + two blind dogs. S**t.
“Now, you may wonder what in the hell we’re doing (I know we do, both still I denial I think!)”
Victoria revealed they moved into a caravan, as they build their own house.
Victoria revealed: “A dream we’ve long since had and just never had the time … or the belief that we could.
“And yet somehow, when it feels like we’ve got more than ever on our plate, we thought. Sod it. It’s now or never. This is our year for change. And so we are.”
She ended the lengthy message with: “So stick around for the journey you lovely lot – and please – any advice send our way.
Because in truth. We haven’t got a bloody clue what we’re doing.”
James played beloved Martin Fowler from 2014 until he was killed off in the BBC soap’s live 40th anniversary episode.
