Gabriella Wilde has paid tribute to the NHS as she thanked health workers for looking after her unwell son
The 'Poldark' star took to Instagram to reveal her boy, Skye, three, was recently admitted to hospital, but thanks to the health service he is now "well and home playing".
Gabriella - who played Caroline Penvenen in the BBC period drama series - wrote: "Earlier this week my darling Skye was being cared for by the incredible team of doctors and nurses @ruhbath hospital. I am so deeply grateful to all of those angels who looked after him and I with such grace and care. Thank you thank you thank you for everything you do and all the sacrifices you make to take care of and heal others. I am so grateful to live in a country with national health care . It is something we must NEVER take for granted. Skye is now well and home playing with his brothers (sic)"
In 2020, Gabriella - who also has sons Sasha, eight, and Shiloh, six, with her husband, singer/songwriter Alan Pownall - admitted she had her 18th century 'Poldark' costumes adapted to enable her to breastfeed Skye on set.
She said: "I have never been one for making demands.
"The only time I have is when I brought my baby on set. He was four months old when we started filming the third series of 'Poldark'.
"Brilliantly, the entire filming schedule was laid around his feeding time.
"My costumes were especially designed so that I could feed him. He was sick on me nearly every day which gave the costume designers a bit of a heart attack since you can’t really wash these elaborate costumes."
