Jess Wright has revealed that her four-year-old son Presley was rushed to hospital after a terrifying bouncy castle accident left him struggling to breathe.
The former TOWIE star shared the frightening update with followers, describing the incident as the “scariest day” of her life.
For any parent, the idea of a child being hurt at a birthday party is horrific.
For Jess and her husband William Lee-Kemp, the fear was even greater because Presley has a pre-existing heart condition.
Jess explained that Presley had been playing on a bouncy castle when he was suddenly thrown from the top of it and landed face down on a hard wooden floor from around three metres high.
The sound of the fall, she said, silenced the whole party.
It was a moment she believes will stay with her.
Presley was struggling to breathe and then briefly passed out in his parents’ arms before coming round moments later. Jess said it felt like an eternity, even though it may only have been a few seconds.
The little boy was placed on a stretcher with his head supported as emergency services took him to a trauma unit in London.
In the ambulance, Jess said there were terrifying discussions about possible broken ribs, a spinal injury and even worse outcomes.
No parent is ever prepared for that kind of journey.
The flashing lights.
The medical checks.
The silence between questions.
The fear of what doctors may say next.
But after hours of worry, the family received the news they had been praying for.
Presley had not suffered serious injuries.
Jess said he was eventually discharged with bruises, soreness and deeply shaken parents.
She later shared that he was playing games in hospital, describing herself as grateful for his recovery.
It was a lucky escape — and Jess knows it.
In her emotional posts, she thanked the families at the birthday party who helped in the immediate aftermath, as well as the ambulance team and doctors at the Royal London Hospital.
She also said the accident had made her think more carefully about bouncy castles placed on hard surfaces such as wooden floors, rather than on mats or grass.
Jess made clear that it was a freak accident and not something that could easily have been predicted.
But after seeing her little boy hurt so badly, she admitted she will be more cautious in future.
The incident comes after Jess previously revealed Presley had been diagnosed with a rare congenital heart condition called bicuspid aortic valve.
The condition means the aortic valve in the heart has two cusps instead of the usual three.
Jess first shared the diagnosis publicly in 2024 and has spoken openly about the emotional toll of regular checks and waiting for results.
Earlier this year, she gave a more positive update, saying doctors had seen a rare improvement in Presley’s condition.
She became emotional as she explained how difficult it is to hold everything together during appointments, then process the fear afterwards even when the news is good.
For Jess, Presley’s health has already made ordinary parenting fears feel heavier.
That is why the bouncy castle accident was so traumatic.
It was not just a fall.
It was the sight of her child struggling to breathe.
It was the panic of seeing him pass out.
It was the terror of not knowing whether his heart condition might make everything worse.
And it was the helplessness every parent knows when control disappears in an instant.
Jess, who shares Presley with husband William, has always been open about how deeply motherhood has changed her.
Her latest update was raw because it came from that place — the place where love and fear sit painfully close together.
She wrote that the love she feels for Presley “physically hurts,” a line many parents will understand.
Because when a child is hurt, the parent feels it too.
The body goes cold.
The mind races.
Every second stretches.
And even when doctors say the child is okay, the fear can take much longer to leave.
Presley is now recovering, and Jess has shared her gratitude for the outcome.
But the emotional shock is clearly still close.
Her message was not only a health update.
It was also a warning about how quickly a happy family moment can turn frightening.
A birthday party became a hospital dash.
A fun bouncy castle became the scene of a terrifying accident.
And a mother who has already lived with anxiety over her son’s heart condition found herself facing one of her worst fears.
Thankfully, Presley is home and healing.
For Jess and William, that is everything.
Bruised, sore and shaken — but safe.
And after the scariest day of her life, Jess is holding onto the only thing that matters.
Her little boy is okay.
