Stephanie Davis fought back tears and admitted she was left ‘terrified’ when her three-month-old son stopped breathing for the second time.
The Coronation Street star, 32, welcomed Samuel back in January and sadly experienced a scary ordeal last month when she found that he wasn’t breathing.
At just two months old, he faced a ‘scary episode’ which left him needing to be hospitalised.
And taking to her social media this week, Stephanie shared that he suffered from another terrifying incident.
According to The Sun, she told her fans that Samuel was at a baby sensory class when he suddenly stopped breathing before he was due a feed.
The Hollyoaks actress was left in a state of panic and admitted it was ‘torture’ as a mum to see her son so unwell.

The soap star shared how two women outside who worked at the hospital rushed to help and got an ambulance.
‘We were just having a nice day and then all of a sudden he’s foaming from the mouth with loads of saliva, you lose your head as a mum, it’s honestly torture,’ she reportedly shared.
‘Poor baby has had two lumber punctures and all sorts done to him to get to the bottom of it all.
‘It’s been a dead upsetting time. I’m trying not to cry again because I’ve just been crying.’
Stephanie revealed Samuel had been hospitalised again as she reflected on the very difficult time.
‘He’s in the hospital again and we are going back to see them. They’ve told me to film him next time but I’ve said that’s the last thing on my mind at the time,’ she said.
‘I’m trying to get him to breathe.’
MailOnline has contacted Stephanie’s representatives for comment.

Stephanie previously described last month’s ordeal as ‘the scariest time of my life’.
She penned on Instagram at the time: ‘I just want to say a massive thank you to Whiston hospital, the staff on the high dependency unit and the staff on the ward for looking after our baby boy and for helping me take him to the hospital and keeping me as calm as she could after what’s been the scariest time of my life.
‘On Monday Samuel stopped breathing and had 3 scary episodes. I’ve felt totally helpless & powerless the past few days.’
Stephanie described how Samuel was given a lumbar puncture, a medical procedure where a thin needle is inserted into the lower back to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, for analysis.
The TV star told how she was feeling ‘mentally and physically drained’ after the terrifying ordeal.
‘The whole time I have thought about those mums who have poorly babies in hospital for a long time and I honestly don’t know how you do it as I’m mentally and physically drained already my anxiety is through the roof think I’ve gone into autopilot now,’ she said.
‘I’ve thought about Amy so much these past few days. I’m So grateful for the NHS & how utterly amazing and caring the staff have been.
‘Now to be there for him these next few days and look forward to getting him home when we can.’
Along with Samuel, Stephanie is also mother to seven-year-old son Caben who she had with her ex Jeremy McConnell.
