Love Island husband and wife couple Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt are caring for their children after their household fell to the common infection of chickenpox
Camilla Thurlow has given an update on the health of her children after members of her household were struck down by chickenpox. The 35-year-old former Love Island contestant is a proud mother-of-three and has been married to model Jamie Jewitt since 2011.
Camilla and Jamie, 35, are parents to daughters Nell, four, and Nora, three, and young son Brodie, one, who arrived in May last year. But this weekend, Camilla has revealed her children are fighting chickenpox.
The highly contagious condition is common in children – but can be caught be adults too. Symptoms involve the appearance of itchy spots which can form anywhere on the body and in the mouth.
The condition clears after one to two weeks with the body then forming resistance to the disease. Symptoms can be soother with cooling creams, antihistamines and paracetamol – and it seems Camilla has been trying to help one of her children that has been worst affected.
Taking to Instagram Stories on Friday, Camilla shared a photo of a pot of home made soup. She wrote alongside the image: “Always some kind of chicken soup when the kids are ill (partly because Nora finds it so hard to eat when she’s ill so I strain some broth to go in a bottle to try and get something in).”
She gave another update on Saturday, sharing a snap of herself with her daughter, Nora, who is covered in chickenpox blisters. She wrote: “Poor love is having such a tough time with chicken pox. She did drink some soup, thankfully.”
She continued: “It’s difficult when she’s ill because she always seems to get things the worst.
“And it’s so hard for her that she can’t tell us how she feels, and that we can’t explain to her that the medicine will make her feel better, so every dose is just a horrible and upsetting experience for her.”
The reality star added: “Nell fortunately so far has been v minimal.” Camilla has previously explained that Nora is autistic and has been slower to learn language and walking.
Marking her 3rd birthday last month, Camilla shared an string of photos of herself and Jamie posing alongside their daughter. She wrote at the time: “On the eve of Nora’s 3rd birthday, there is so much to say, and here she is doing it on her own terms.”
She continued: “While she may not speak I hope you can hear exactly what she is saying here. That you understand her the way we do, through those eyes that tell every part of the story of the gentlest soul and the strongest heart.”
She continued: “Thank you for meeting her here with understanding, encouragement and most of all, joy. For her love, our love, needs no words at all – it just needs us.”
Proud dad Jamie also paid tribute to their daughter. The Love Island star wrote: “Happy birthday little explore.”
