Pregnant Danielle Lloyd has praised her sons for raising the alarm when she collapsed at home.
The 37-year-old, who is expecting her fifth child and first daughter, got a fright on Friday when she began experiencing stomach pains while looking after her four sons on her own.
Recounting the ‘traumatic’ incident to OK! magazine, Danielle said: ‘I went to the toilet and I fell and passed out, it was so scary.’
While Danielle’s husband Michael O’Neill was not at home, her sons – Archie, 11, Harry, 10, George, seven, and three-year-old Ronnie – were quick thinking, and knocked at a neighbour’s door to call an ambulance for their mum.
Danielle, who is nearly 22 weeks pregnant, said: ‘I had really low blood pressure, I was so worried for the baby and it was obviously so terrifying for the boys, but I’m so proud of them.’
Thankfully, all was well with Danielle’s baby, with all scans for infections coming back clear.

The model and reality star is now resting at home and ensuring she stays hydrated.
Danielle confirmed back in May that she and Michael were expecting their second child together, and said that she would continue trying if it wasn’t a girl.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star had previously considered gender selection to have a daughter, and told Closer: ‘Michael is really hoping for a girl and the boys are desperate too – they’re convinced it’s a little sister. If it is, that little girl is going to have an army of protective big brothers throughout her life!
‘I can’t wait to become a family of seven. I know there’s a risk it’ll be another boy though – having five boys would be totally mad! But, of course, the main thing I want is for the baby to be healthy. And if it’s not a girl – we’ll just try again after!’
They may not have to, though, as doctors have told her and Michael that there is a 99% chance that she is having a girl.
Danielle said: ‘I’m over the moon. I can’t really believe it, to be honest. I don’t think it will feel real until she arrives.’
The star is already doing up the baby’s nursery in typically feminine style, with a pink canopy over the cot fit for a princess.
