Baby Nancy’s hospital history

This isn’t the first time Lucy has had a hospital dash with her daughter. Back in October 2025, Nancy went to A&E for a ‘string of infections.’

At the time, the actress shared a candid update, telling fans: “We have had a weekend. It has been filled with sickness, and A&E visits and everything. I don’t know who I am anymore. Poor Nancy is literally so sick.

“Look at her eye, I just cannot. I cannot even cope, she’s been vomiting, she has a throat infection, an ear infection and an eye infection.

“She has two top teeth coming through and a sickness bug. But yeah, that’s just a reality check. Life comes at you really fast.”

Nancy was dealing with an ear and eye infection as well as a stomach bug, but Lucy later confirmed that just a few days after that hospital visit, her daughter was already starting to return to her usual smiley self.
