Gaz Beadle has hit back at trolls who have blamed his girlfriend Emma McVey for his son Chester falling ill.
Chester caught something similar to a "rotavirus" which resulted in him ending up in hospital. But trolls claimed that his illness was down to Emma's weight during her pregnancy.
Emma had previously confronted the trolls on her social media, writing: “For all the sick people saying any of Chester's illnesses are due to my weight through pregnancy...
“He has picked up rotavirus. Yes, he's had all the vaccines for it but there's clearly a severe virus going around. My pregnancy has absolutely nothing to do with it."
But now boyfriend Gaz has had to step in to defend his girlfriend and son. In a long Instagram post uploaded yesterday, he wrote: "Sorry ain’t been very active over last 3/4 days it’s been a hard weekend (this pic is us fresh and before this we defo don’t look like this atm 🙈)... seen some stupid stuff going around about why Chester was in hospital some even blaming Emma... can’t be a***d biting back at them people..."
"Chester had his rotavirus vaccine when he had his jabs but somehow caught something similar... he went to hospital and Emma stayed with him... however she ended up catching the virus and being violently sick and could hardly stand I picked her up took her home and took over with Chester’s grandad..."
Gaz revealed that the whole family ended up catching the virus which caused them to all be violently sick.
He added: "Me and him then both got it but couldn’t leave Chester so we were in hospital all day throwing up I couldn’t drive home Emma had to drive back get us... got him and all of us being sick and trying to look after him as no one could help as they would get it I came from bathroom to see Emma feeding Chester just after being sick and with hardly any strength so please p*ss off with your comments she is a f*****g trooper and no illness would stop her looking after Chester..."
"We just started recovering today Chester however will take a bit longer being a baby... mums are amazing and she is a 🌟 so please maybe just try be nice... I hope no one else has to experience that virus f*****g brutal !! Family ❤️"
We wish Gaz, Emma and Chester a speedy recovery.
