Harry Judd’s wife, Izzy, has shared a sobering warning to parents after their three-year-old son, Lockie, was urgently taken to the hospital.
The McFly drummer, who has been busy promoting the band’s recent collaboration with Busted, experienced a “traumatic few days” after Lockie was injured by a washing pod. Harry and Izzy, married since 2012, have three children: Lockie, their seven-year-old daughter Lola, and five-year-old son Kit.
Izzy posted a black-and-white image on Instagram, showing her holding Lockie’s hand as he slept in the hospital, explaining how the accident unfolded and reminding parents to secure cleaning products.
Lockie managed to get hold of a washing pod and accidentally burst it, causing the contents to enter his eyes. Although Izzy wasn’t present at that exact moment, she shared her regret over forgetting to put the pods away, adding that they immediately rushed him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Lockie’s pH levels in his eyes were measured at 8, and they needed to be brought down to 7. Nurses spent the entire night flushing Lockie’s eyes with 22 liters of fluid to stabilize his pH. Izzy expressed her deep gratitude to the NHS nurses for their kindness and dedication, acknowledging how difficult it was to watch Lockie undergo the distressing procedure, particularly as he dislikes even having his hair washed.
Currently, Lockie’s right eye remains injured due to the chemical exposure, but he is being closely monitored by specialists. Izzy praised her son’s bravery and determination through the ordeal, concluding her message with a cautionary note to other parents to ensure cleaning products are stored completely out of children’s reach.
Izzy reflected on the experience as “the scariest moment” of her motherhood, extending empathy to any other families who have faced similar frightening accidents.
Harry has not commented publicly on the incident, but the Judds received an outpouring of support from friends and fellow parents. Georgia Jones, wife of Harry’s bandmate Danny Jones, commented, “Sending massive amounts of love. Here if you need us .”
Tom Fletcher’s sister and West End star Carrie Hope Fletcher added her thoughts, writing, “Sending so much love to you all! .” Joel Dommett also expressed his concern: “Ahh man, this is horrid! Hope you are all ok.
.”
Heather James, mother of the late cancer campaigner Deborah James, sent her sympathies as well, saying, “Sending love to you all through this traumatic, scary time. Xx.”
