After sharing her three-year-old daughter Aurelia’s unintentionally broken nose, Millie Mackintosh posted photos of her bandaged nose on Instagram.
Millie Mackintosh has revealed she’s undergone surgery after her three-year-old daughter Aurelia accidentally broke her nose. The 35-year-old former Made In Chelsea star took to Instagram to show her nose covered in bandages after the mishap at home.
Apologising to her 1.3 million followers for being quiet lately, the mum-of-two – who also shares daughter Sienna, five, with husband Hugo Taylor – explained what happened and wrote: “If I’ve been quiet on here recently, there’s a reason why…
My nose was accidentally fracturing by Aurelia three weeks ago! When she threw her head back at me while I was holding her, her skull struck me in the middle of my nose. I discovered a crack after going to check it, and I had to have surgery to correct it by the end of last week. Has another parent ever experienced this? You kind of have to laugh, though, but parenting is a serious low.
However, Millie’s daughter Sienna’s playing up and recent events appeared to have caused her to panic, which she claimed she hadn’t experienced in months and assumed she had them under control.

Millie’s post continued, “Sienna is almost five and has been having enormous meltdowns and violent tantrums,” revealing what life has been like lately. She seems to be moving along with us as we’ve been establishing new boundaries at home and providing support as she adjusts. She believed she had all the power, and it just wasn’t a good dynamic, and I realized I wasn’t being firm enough.
She then explained how her own health was struggling, saying, “I hadn’t had one in a while, but I had a panic attack this week.” For about three hours, it kept coming in waves like I was going to pass out.
I was aware of what it was, which is the difference. I kindly addressed myself, absorbed the discomfort, and applied ice to my neck, which was very helpful. This would have destroyed my entire day, or even my week, a year ago. I can see how far I’ve come.
“Lately I’ve been worrying about my social media — is anyone seeing this? Is it good enough? Lots of comparison and self-doubt creeping in. I’d love your feedback — what do you want to see more of on my page?“And Aurelia is in a real tricky phase. Everything’s wrong — clothes are too itchy, the bath is too bubbly, pasta is too wobbly, her smoothie isn’t pink enough… You get the picture. Most nights I end up in her bed to get her back to sleep and fall asleep there too. I love the cuddles, but I miss sleeping through the night!”
Fans responded with support in the comments below, some expressing their own unintended injuries to their children. One person wrote, “Yes, my daughter, when she accidentally scratched my eyeball while grabbing at my face, and ripped off the top layers. I had the feeling that I was going to pass away because of how much pain I was getting.
One person expressed “so much love Millie and bravo for the honesty. This is always appreciated by us mothers. “Ah, I’m sorry, sending you love,” a third person said. My two-year-old threw her head back and I believed her eye socket had broken. It immediately went black and was extremely painful. I sobbed because it hurt so much. While a fifth added, “Parenting is not always simple, xxx, but I’m glad you’re okay.”
