speechless Hollyoaks star rushes son, one, to A&E and is horrified by notice on wall in waiting room
Daisy suffered a 'living nightmare' following the birth of her youngest son last year
HOLLYOAKS star Daisy Wood-Davis has revealed she rushed her young son to A&E and was left horrified over a notice on the wall.
Daisy, 35, shares sons Ari, one, and Asa, four, with fellow former Hollyoaks star Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy.

The actress took to social media to tell fans she was seeking emergency medical treatment for her youngest son and was speechless when she attempted to donate to the ward during their visit.
Sharing a snap from the waiting room, Daisy explained her “poor boy is having a rough time”.
She added: “[It] sounds like he has tonsillitis and conjunctivitis.”
But when she spotted a flyer on the wall asking for donations to the neonatal unit, Daisy couldn’t believe what she was faced with.
Posting a photo of the poster, Daisy wrote: “Ok I am speechless… this was on the wall in the children’s A&E so I scanned the code and wanted to get something for the ward.”
She then shared the page the code directed her to – revealing the unit was asking patients to buy mouse traps.
Daisy said: “Is this a joke? Mouse traps? The NHS can’t afford mouse traps on a neonatal unit so is asking us to buy them for Christmas? Wtf is going on? Surely this is a mistake.”
Following Ari’s water birth arrival at home last year, Daisy and Majid were left fraught with worry when he became ill and needed two operations.
Ari was just four days old when he needed to undergo surgery and a second procedure soon followed.
Calling the experience a “living nightmare”, Daisy revealed her relief when Ari was allowed home in time for Christmas.
She said at the time: “Ari (pronounced Ah-Ree) means ‘lion’ and ‘sun-like’ and he has truly lived up to his name and is the bravest, toughest little cub.
“We are so proud of him. Mummy, Daddy and your besotted big brother Asa, could not love you more (unbelievably, we will but it doesn’t seem possible!)
“Let’s re-start this post partum journey and celebrate our beautiful son properly, in the way he deserves.
“We love you with all our hearts, Ari Jax.”
Daisy played Kim Butterfield in Hollyoaks from 2014 to 2018 while Majid starred as Jesse Donovan in the soap between 2016 and 2020.
