Frankie Essex’s son Logan rushed to hospital after putting exploded battery in his mouth

FRANKIE Essex rushed her son Logan to hospital this week after she feared he had swallowed an exploded battery.

The mum-of-twins, 35, was terrified when she discovered the little boy sitting beside part of the battery – unable to find the other bit.

Panicked, she called 111, who advised her to give him a teaspoon of honey and get him to A&E asap.

Frankie and partner Luke were rushed through and the poison team were called.

She told OK!: “The doctors monitored Logan for about three hours and he was fine, but they did have to speak to the poison team because with it being an open battery it was just a completely different scenario because normally they’re closed.

“But the half we think he had in his mouth was the magnesium side, while it’s the other side that would have been more dangerous.”

Horrified Frankie continued: “At the hospital one of the doctors came and sat with me because I kept asking questions and they said ‘Honestly, you don’t want to know what could have happened to him if he had swallowed the battery’.

“He said sometimes people just don’t realise and it’s already too late, and I just burst out crying. It could have just gone so differently.”

Frankie now says she won’t keep batteries in her home.

Logan was previously rushed to hospital with a leg infection.

And she urgently dashed her baby daughter Luella to hospital after ‘finding a lump’ earlier this year.

Frankie gave birth to her non-identical twins last June.
