Greg Rutherford, a 37-year-old star on Dancing on Ice, shared a shocking update on Monday night - his son was rushed to the hospital after a gruesome injury that resulted in him losing a significant amount of blood. In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Greg explained that the evening did not go as planned and that he was not expecting to spend it in such a dramatic way.
The Olympian, who is currently partnered with Vanessa James on the popular skating competition, also added a trigger warning before sharing a photo of the injury his 6-year-old son Rex sustained after an accident with a door. "Young Rexy took on the door frame and lost...a ton of blood and some tears later we're in A&E hoping his new head mouth can be closed soon," Greg wrote in his caption.
Thankfully, Rex was treated and is now recovering, allowing Greg to reflect on his priorities. "One minute I'm stressing about a silly ice dance, the next mopping up blood and taking young Rexy to the hospital. Perspective is key," he shared. The dad-of-three also expressed his pride over how brave his son was during the whole ordeal, and thanked the "wonderful staff" at Milton Keynes hospital for taking care of him.
In his last post, Greg shared a smiling selfie with Rex and his 2-year-old daughter Daphne, showing that his son is doing well. "Relaxing with the sick note and Daph, the perfect day off," he wrote. Along with Rex and Daphne, Greg also has another son, Milo, who is 9 years old, with his fiancée Susie Verrill, a blogger.
Although Greg has proven to be a strong competitor on the ice rink, he faced some setbacks before joining the show. In the lead-up to the 2022 Winter Olympics, he suffered a shoulder injury that derailed his plans. And in August, he had a severe allergic reaction that left him screaming and clawing at his skin, requiring a trip to the hospital. Susie, who drove him to the hospital due to a long wait for an ambulance, later shared on Instagram about how Greg went into a delirious state before receiving treatment.
Despite these challenges, Greg has been grateful for the support from his followers and fans, and has since recovered from his allergic reaction. "I still have itches on my skin but nothing obviously like yesterday at all. All the rash has gone away now which is great," he shared. As a precaution, he also got stronger antihistamines and hopes to never experience something like this again.
