Paul Gorton has revealed that his one-month-old son has been rushed to hospital after being diagnosed with bronchitis.

The star who came to fame early this year when he appeared as one of the Traitors in the BBC series The Traitors, revealed to followers that his son has been given an IV drip and put on oxygen.

On his Instagram story, he penned: ‘Thanks for the messages everyone, really means a lot.

‘Cooper has bronchitis and is currently on an IV and oxygen getting the best care. Hoping he turns a corner and improves as soon as possible.’

Paul shares his one-month-old son with his partner Kate Waldron. The couple are also parents to a toddler named Charlie.

The TV star then shared a post from his partner that showed the youngster hooked up to an oxygen line, with a moving caption from Kate.

Kate’s post read: ‘Thank you all so much for all your kind messages about Cooper.

‘Unfortunately yesterday he got worse and needed to be put on oxygen and an IV drip for fluids.’

She revealed that he son wasn’t allowed to eat during this time. ‘I had to stop breastfeeding because having milk in his stomach was making breathing harder for him so he’s been nil by mouth for over 12 hours now and they are going to tube feed him small amounts soon from what I have pumped.’

‘As you can imagine for a newborn not to have milk he was very very unsettled so we gave him a dummy to finally get him to sleep and since then he has been flat out!’

She added that the experience had been ‘heartbreaking’: ‘Just not how you expect to see a baby so young, it’s so heartbreaking to see and to not even be able to feed and comfort my own baby is just horrible.’

The couple announced their son’s birth in November with a post that shared some sweet family photos.

‘Welcome to the world Cooper ♥️ What a crazy last couple of days! My waters broke and he was here later that day weighing a chunky 8.7lbs, the exact same weight Charlie was!

‘Enjoying every second of newborn bliss as a family of 5 as we know how fast it goes this time around!!’ penned Kate.

A week after Cooper was born Paul shared that the first week of his youngest son’s life had been a ‘whirlwind’.

‘Whirlwind of a week, everything is going well so far. I’d describe it as the beginnings of bucking bronco when the fella lures you into a false sense of security before you get launched off and you question why did you go on in the first place. Perfect,’ he said.

He revealed that his son was healthy: ‘Cooper is doing so well, feels like he’s always been here,’ and added that his eldest son Charlie was doing everything he could to welcome him to the family.
