"It started with Roman having a really bad cough I presume he picked up at preschool then Lilah caught it and three days in she wasn't coping with it very well, tummy sucking in, cough getting worse, high temperature, coughing and choking on milk and her saliva," Lucy detailed.
The former TOWIE star shared that in hospital her daughter needed oxygen and was tube fed for a couple of days, before being diagnosed with bronchiolitis.
