TOWIE's Frankie Essex 'so worried' about baby's health after year seeing doctors

Former TOWIE star Frankie Essex has shared her concerns about a 'wobbly' neck that is affecting one of her twins. daughter Luella.

The 35-year-old reality star gave birth to Logan and Luella last May, who she shares with boyfriend Luke Love, and she has said that she worries about her daughter, who has been returning to doctors for the past year.

Writing in her OK! column, Frankie said that Luella's neck condition had not been improving and continues to tilt to the left despite a number of appointments. It is a problem which seems to have stumped Frankie, as she admits that she doesn't know if it is something which is linked to other 'issues' with Luella and wants to be certain that it isn't something that will affect her as she gets older.

Frankie wrote: "She has quite a bad neck but she's always had it, she has this thing where he neck will tilt to the left. We've been going back and forth to the doctors for about a year now. And it'll go back to normal everytime we take her to the doctors, but last week it tilted again so we're going again on Tuesday."

The reality star said that she had been told that Luella being breech may have contributed to the problem. Frankie continued in her column: "She's a really wobbly baby so I don't know if it's linked, and I just don't want her to have back and neck problems when she's older.

"We've been told that the neck problems might be from where she was breech, and that because of that it's just the way she's comfortable."

At the end of July, Frankie had a scary moment when son Logan was rushed to A&E after swallowing a battery. The worried parent was supported by a poison team and she admitted she was "panicking" after hearing a small explosion in her living room before going to bed.

Her and partner Luke couldn't see anything and so went to sleep but in the morning, the mum-of-two noticed half a battery on the floor next to Logan. She then realised it was the battery that had exploded, but couldn't find the other half. Frankie admitted how Logan likes to put things in his mouth, and so she feared he had swallowed it.

Frankie was told, after calling 111, to give him a spoon of honey every 10 minutes and to take him to A&E.

She told OK!: "The doctors monitored Logan for about three hours and he was fine, but they did have to speak to the poison team because with it being an open battery it was just a completely different scenario because normally they're closed. But the half we think he had in his mouth was the magnesium side, while it's the other side that would have been more dangerous."
