EastEnders star James Bye’s son was rushed to hospital with severe vomiting after suffering a nasty fall on a trampoline.

Martin Fowler actor James, 41, shares four children with his wife Victoria – Edward, ten, Louis, eight, Hugo, five, and Rufus, who turns two next month.

And Victoria took to Instagram recently to share that Rufus had ended up very unwell – just a few days after a lovely family holiday.

She had to call 111 in the middle of the night during the half-term break after he fell and landed on his head and was subsequently vomiting.

He was diagnoses with gastroenteritis – often called the ‘stomach flu’ – instead of concussion, with the rest of the family then catching the same unfortunate bug.

According to the NHS, gastroenteritis is a common inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites.

James’ wife Victoria recently took to Instagram to share that she had to call 111 in the middle of the night during the half-term break and he went to A&E – before all the others got the sick bug

It typically manifests with symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach cramps, but can also include fever, fatigue, and headache.

Sharing the experience on Instagram, she wrote: ‘So, it all started earlier this week, when just before bed the boys were outside on the trampoline. And I’ve said it before, (and I’ll say it again) Those trampolines will be the end of me.

‘And as I’m watching, somewhat half-heartedly (let’s be honest, I’m shattered, it’s half term, James is working & there’s only so many ‘Mummy watch me’s’ I can take) when Rufus, who was happily playing with a trail of ants (whatever keeps him quiet) suddenly clambered up & in slow motion took a spin, promptly landing on his head.

‘After much crying (and frantic checking of doctor Google) he seemed to be ok & calling it a day, I thankfully got them all to bed.

‘Cue him waking up a few hours later projectile vomming everywhere. Quick phone call to 111 & to A&E we went.

’12 hours later (and several more voms) the doctor discharged us citing gastroenteritis. Now, it’s fair to say I was a tad sceptical about this diagnosis. Especially with her stark warning at how contagious it was.

‘Needless to say. I then ate my words. Over the next few days there has been a vom-fest the likes of which I’ve never seen before. I’m talking up the walls, in the door frame, all over the carpet & bum squits galore.

‘Oh, and we were staying at James’ folks at the time. With our blind dog who brought his own level of incontinence & then stood in the corner head-ʙuттing the wall. It’s been a s**t show – literally.

‘And as I write this, (I’ve just got home – the grandparents waved me off gladly) and I’m now wrapped in a blanket, have sweat out half my body weight (every cloud and all) & haven’t managed to keep more than a cuppa down in days!’

A day later she posted an update, saying: ‘Hello you lovely lot. Still in the trenches here with this dreaded sickness malarkey… thank you honestly for all your get well wishes. 

‘I’m trying not to complain too much… (Well, I am, you can’t beat a good moan – nothing James loves more than getting back from rehearsals to a green looking ranty wife & a house full of chaos right?!)’

James recently exited EastEnders and recalled his ‘choking sobs’ as he filmed his emotional last scene as Martin Fowler.

The beloved character was tragically killed off during the BBC soap’s 40th anniversary live episode, having been crushed by a steel beam while rescuing his longtime love Stacey Slater after an explosion at the Queen Vic.

Speaking ahead of his character’s funeral, James explained how they had rehearsed the scene so ‘nothing could go wrong’ for the live show, but he still felt his heart beat through his chest with adrenaline. 

The actor told The Mirror: ‘At the final rehearsal, I lost it. When Stacey walked away to talk to the paramedic, it was like an out-of-body experience. 

‘She came back and I had tears pouring down my face. When I spoke again, I didn’t think anyone would be able to understand what I was saying through my choking sobs.’ 

The pair soon recovered and were seen the week after at the Thunderbolts* UK special screening

Admitting that he won’t watch his own cremation, which was filmed the month before, he also revealed the strange request made by the crew.

James added: ‘If I’m honest, I’d find it a bit weird. The art department were asking for pictures of me to put in the order of service. But I said no. I don’t want real pH๏τographs of me at my funeral, with my real family cut out.’ 

After being the first ever baby to be born on the show, Martin was tragically killed following an explosion at the Queen Vic.

Following his heroic attempt to rescue his longtime love Stacey Slater, he was crushed by a falling beam.

At first, it appeared that Martin had been successfully rescued from underneath the beam, but his heart then stopped as firefighters rushed to try and save him.

His ex-wife Stacey was left in floods of tears as Martin died in front of her eyes just moments after he declared his love for her and proposed.

The heartbreaking episode ended with Stacey hugging Martin’s lifeless body while her screams could be heard by those waiting outside the Queen Vic for news.
