“He is thankfully getting better now.”
Mum Anna continued: “He had a horrible rash that appeared on his legs and then spread all over his body really quickly.

According to the NHS, erythema multiforme is a “skin reaction that can be triggered by an infection or some medicines. It’s usually mild and goes away in a few weeks”.
But, there is also a rare severe form called erythema multiforme major, which can affect the mouth, genitals and eyes and can be life-threatening.
Anna went on to explain she was treating her son with: “Piriton, paracetamol and lots of fluid and rest (best he can)

“Been monitoring his temp and reaction as this can turn into something serious Stevens-Johnson syndrome!
“He’s a brave little boy,” mum Anna gushed as she added a pink heart emoji.
Gregg also opened up on his son’s health in a video posted on his Instagram story.
He said: “I know I’m always happy and jolly but Anna’s at home with Sid and Sid developed a rash, it’s all OK but it was worrying for a time.

“It doesn’t ever get any easier as a parent, does it? And it doesn’t matter how old they get they’re still your babies and you still worry about them. Little baby Sid he’s OK but nervous for a moment.”
The MasterChef star then praised his wife as he said: “Well done Anna, you’re an amazing mummy and my hero!”

Speaking to OK! ahead of the op in 2019, Anna said: “I’ve got to have a complete hysterectomy early next year.
“My endometriosis, which I’ve suffered with all my adult life, returned severely after I had Sid. It’s so bad I also have to have part of my intestine removed, as it has attacked my bowel too. It causes me a lot of pain. It’s a big operation and I’ll be in hospital for about ten days with three months recovery.”
