James Bye - who was killed off in the BBC soap's live 40th anniversary episode early this year - shares four kids with wife Victoria.
The family recently revealed they are living in caravan after selling their "forever home".
Victoria has now issued a warning about garden plants, and the ones you may not know are poisonous.
It came after she had to rush her youngest to A&E after ate a harmful plant by mistake and was left "screaming" in pain.
The concerned mum-of-four wrote: "So. More of a public service announcement than a post really but as we all know, life with kids is anything but predictable..
"So, after spending the night in hospital (I swear they'll start charging us rent soon) after Rufus decided to snack on a plant in the garden — one I didn't even know was dangerous. All hell let loose.
"Within minutes his tongue had started to swell, he was screaming & we had to call 999. (As always - NHS heroes, honestly.)
"Thankfully he's absolutely fine now 🙏🏼 but it turned out the culprit was Italian Arum, a really common plant with bright orange berries that looks innocent but is seriously toxic if ingested."
Ending her lengthy post, she said: "I mean, I had no idea.
"And once I started looking into it… turns out there are loads of plants like that quietly minding their own (deadly) business in UK gardens."

"Yes, you read that right. A tin box on wheels with barely enough room to swing a cat let alone four kids + two blind dogs. S**t.
"Now, you may wonder what in the hell we're doing (I know we do, both still I denial I think!)"
Victoria revealed they moved into a caravan, as they build their own house.
Victoria revealed: "A dream we've long since had and just never had the time … or the belief that we could.
"And yet somehow, when it feels like we've got more than ever on our plate, we thought. Sod it. It's now or never. This is our year for change. And so we are."
She ended the lengthy message with: "So stick around for the journey you lovely lot - and please - any advice send our way.
"Because in truth. We haven't got a bloody clue what we're doing."
James played beloved Martin Fowler from 2014 until he was killed off in the BBC soap's live 40th anniversary episode.

Key Theatre panto moves to new venue as Raac repairs push opening
A pantomime has been relocated to a different venue after repairs at a city theatre were delayed. The Key Theatre in Peterborough is currently undergoing £2.19m of roof repairs after reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) was identified in October Theatres, the operator of the Key Theatre, said: "Due to the complex nature of the work, unforeseen variables have emerged. This means the schedule of works will now run to the end of December 2025."The Jack and Beanstalk Pantomime will be held at The New Theatre on Broadway instead, which is also run by the same operator. The operator also said the Chalkboard café and Kindred Drama, which are located in the building, will remain open throughout the work. 'Cultural cornerstone' After Raac was found in 2023, a new temporary roof structure costing £196,000 was installed, which helped save panto season at the theatre that then, Peterborough City Council, which owns the building, allocated £2.19m for a longer-term programme of remedial works, including a new permanent roof and improved heating and cooling company Lindum was appointed to carry out the project, which began in June and was expected to finish by Jepson, CEO & creative director of Landmark Theatres, said: "Whilst we are delighted to confirm that our much-loved annual pantomime and festive programme will go ahead as planned, albeit at a different location, some other scheduled productions will sadly need to be cancelled or rescheduled. "All affected customers will be contacted in the coming week with full details, including options for exchanges or refunds."Speaking about the repairs, he added: "The key issues have now been identified and addressed, and we're confident that the remaining works are on track to be completed within the revised timeline. Robust controls are in place to ensure continued progress and timely delivery."The Key Theatre is more than just a building—it's a cultural cornerstone for Peterborough. We can't wait to welcome everyone back to a revitalised Key Theatre, ready for an exciting new chapter." Labour councillor Mohammed Jamil, deputy leader and cabinet member for finance and corporate governance, said: "We continue to work closely with Landmark and the contractors, Lindum, to ensure that the work can be completed at the earliest opportunity. "Once the work is completed, it will ensure that the theatre can continue to provide a vibrant cultural offering for Peterborough residents."The BBC asked the council if the delay to repairs could have an additional financial impact on the local said it was "too early" to comment on the total cost figure and needed to "evaluate the proposed works and sequencing".

Leeds vs Everton - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as the Whites make their return to the top flight with a home clash against the Toffees
What a weekend it's been, eh? One of the main reasons I love the Premier League returning is because we get four days of back-to-back footie, from Friday through Monday. It's pure bliss. We've had three of those days pass us now, and well, it's fair to say it's been a mixed bag. We started with a bang at Anfield, but then it was a bit up and down in terms of entertainment after that, to be honest. Nevertheless, the top flight has still been as frantic as ever. Now, last but not least, we finish the opening weekend at Elland Road as Leeds United mark their return to the Premier League against Everton. If I know one thing about tonight, it's that the atmosphere is going to be electric. When the Leeds players emerge from that tunnel, the noise may be loud enough to register on the Richter scale. OK, that's dramatic, but it's going to be hella loud. I, for one, can not wait for it to get started... let's hope we end this weekend like we started it, with a bang! Right then, shall we get cracking?
