Dancing on Ice star Ben Foden’s daughter rushed to hospital after …
The daughter of Dancing On Ice contestant Ben Foden suffered a nasty injury while on holiday. The youngster, aged three, suffered a hairline fracture in a freak accident at an outdoor gym.
Ex England rugby union player Foden and wife Jackie have been on holiday with his two children Aoife and Tadhg, who he shares with ex-wife Una Healy. It went wrong when daughter Farrah had to be rushed to hospital, the Mirror reported.[1]
Writing on her Instagram story Jackie posted a picture of the youngster in hospital and said: “ “What summer vaca is complete without a trip to the ER, thanks @ferox.athletics!” Another post saw Farrah, sitting alongside her two siblings while wearing a thigh-high pink cast to help her recover from the injury. Jackie explained that children require such high casts as they can “slip out of them easily”.
“Farrah was jumping into the foam pit at Ferox (which is a parkour gymnasium down the block) off those gymnastics jumping platforms, not even just the ledge into the pit, off an elevated metal platform they have at the edge of the put,” she added that “some moron kid” had removed foam blocks from the area which she hadn’t realised. “There were still a couple left, so it’s hard to judge the depth, and she jumped in and her foot hit the floor inside the pit.”
Taking to her Instagram, Ben’s second wife later shared a statement to clarify what actually happened. She said: She added: “So in Farrah’s case, it’s a hairline fracture in the front of her foot, but bc babies slip out of casts so easily they have to cast up to the thigh. She can’t walk or do anything for the next 4-6 weeks, which is unfathomable to even think about for a toddler.” Last year, Jackie opened up about suffering a devastating miscarriage as she fired back at vile social media trolls.
The pair married in 2019, shortly after his split from The Saturdays singer Una Healy.
