Thomas Skinner has shared the worrying news that his twin daughters, Darla and Roma, two, were rushed to the hospital last night.
The Apprentice star and former Strictly contestant took to social media to reveal he'd been "up all night" during what he described as a "proper s*** time" for the family.
Mr Skinner stopped short of revealing the exact reasons behind the hospital dash, but admitted that even though they'd returned home, they were still experiencing "scary" repercussions.
On X, the 34-year-old penned to his 419.2k followers: "We are having a proper shit time recently. My twins have spent all night in the hospital.
"Thank you to the wonderful NHS for looking after them. Back home with them now."
He signed off: "They’ve both now had 2 fits each and it is so so scary," followed by a love heart emoji.
Inevitably, it didn't take long for hundreds of the reality TV star's followers to send their well-wishes his way.
One fan wrote: "Nothing else matters when this happens. Nothing at all. Best wishes, Tom, you’re a good family man."

"Praying they're both alright mate, scary time, glad you're all back safe home now though, that’s the important thing," a second echoed.
Elsewhere, a third added: "So sorry to hear that your beautiful girls have been unwell. I’m glad that the NHS were able to make them well enough to return home. Sending you all hugs xx."
"Sorry to hear this Thomas. I’m glad to hear they’re home. All the best, mate," a fourth echoed while a fifth said: "This is awful, a parent's nightmare. Praying for your children’s speedy and full recovery. Children are tougher than we think, but it doesn’t relieve the worry."
And a sixth typed: "I will keep my fingers crossed for your twins, Tom. All the best for Sinéad and you. BOSH!!" (sic)
The concerning update comes just days after Mr Skinner had to say goodbye to the world of Strictly after becoming the first celebrity of the series to be eliminated.
Alongside pro partner Amy Dowden, the pair failed to impress the judges or the voting public at home, landing in the dance-off opposite Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova.
Speaking on Monday's It Takes Two, Mr Skinner admitted his family were "gutted" to see him leave, adding: "They love Amy."
He went on: "They were watching Saturday night and last night, and they’re sad, bless them, but we can carry on dancing."

When quizzed about his Week Two Salsa, which ultimately led to his exit, Mr Skinner said: "I was loving life. I went out there, I know I’m not the best dancer, but we had such a laugh out there."
Ms Dowden was also full of praise for his efforts: "I am so impressed. (He's) an absolute beginner, you know, in terms of the entertainment world - he's not an actor or a performer.
"So you know, the performances you pulled out both Saturdays, I was so proud.
"I also saw the development from day one, learning it to getting it on the dancefloor, but you know what? Also, we had so much fun. But best of all, who would’ve thought that Thomas Skinner could fall in love with dancing?"
