Former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant Myles Stephenson had to take his young daughter to the hospital after realising she swallowed something harmful
Former I’m A Celebrity star Myles Stephenson has opened up about a terrifying parenting ordeal where he had to rush his daughter to urgent care after a bizarre accident.
The 33-year-old Rak-Su singer, who won The X Factor with his band in 2017, told fans on social media that little Sahara, who turns three in December swallowed an acorn.
The woodland seed may be harmless to squirrels and deer, but raw acorns can be unsafe for humans to eat as they contain tannins, which can be toxic if consumed in large amounts.
The shaken pop star uploaded a clip from A&, E where Sahara can be seen telling viewers why she is in the hospital. He captioned the video: “Yep… she ate an acorn &, now we are at urgent care! Having kids does keep you on your toes”.
In the footage, Myles can be heard asking: “Why are we at the doctors”? before adding: “Because Rara ate an…” The toddler then proudly announced: “acorn”.
In an attempt to teach her a life lesson, Myles proceeded to ask “And was that smart”?, to which Sahara cheekily responded: “Yeah, yummy acorn in my tummy”.
Thankfully, Sahara appeared to be in good spirits during the hospital visit despite the scare. Myles frequently shares the ups and downs of parenthood with his fans.
Alongside Sahara, he is also dad to three-year-old Shiloh, who has faced his own medical struggles. The singer previously revealed that Shiloh suffered a stroke as a baby, which left him with Hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
This condition has caused partial paralysis on Shiloh’s right side. As a result, the youngster wears splints to support his legs and frame.
Last year Myles spoke about his son’s treatment, telling fans: “Shiloh started with the ankle-high splint, which didn’t do its job. Then, after that, we upgraded to the knee-high splint in the hopes that his heel would be able to plant with the knee-high splint, which also failed.
In the hope that his leg’s muscles will relax, Botox injections are the next step. His legs are less flexible, which is difficult to accept because of the shorter range of motion. I really sat and digested it; it’s emotionally difficult for me.
Myles is a devoted father who continues to keep up with his fans on the journey of his family online despite the difficulties of raising two young children.
Rak-Su won The X Factor in 2017 and won the show’s first all-male contestant, making Myles the first to win. The band’s self-written songs, including Dimelo, have led to their popularity on the charts and a devoted following on social media.
Myles stepped away from the stage two years later and participated in the 2019 series of I’m A Celebrity. On the reality series, he lasted three weeks, finishing seventh overall.
