Ryan Livesey, who entered the Married At First Sight experiment as an intruder groom, showcased his brave seven-year-old offspring sitting patiently in the Paedeatric Emergency Department.
He had a white bandage taped on the back of his skull with a bloodied wound visible underneath.
Yet despite the drama, the youngster looked content to be playing a game on his hand held console.
The TV star wrote on his Instagram caption: "A&E on a Friday night.
"Leo's split his head open playing football."
In the next slide posted to his Instagram Stories, Ryan revealed the wound in full glory.
There were no further updates, suggesting the schoolboy is home and well.
It is his second hospital trip in a matter of months, after he was rushed to hospital in December.
He has previously described Leo as "my world, my purpose, my everything."
RYAN'S HEALTH ISSUES
Ryan was 22 when he learned he was going to be a dad, back in 2017, when he learned he was going to be a dad.
MAFS groom bravely opens up about his battle with cancer saying 'it could come back'
But his world was turned upside down three months later when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
He fought the disease, only for it to return 18 months later.
"Facing all of this at such a young age was the hardest thing I've ever been through," Ryan has said.
He previously opened up to The Sun about how he discovered he had the terrifying disease after wetting the bed.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
I started wetting the bed, it was really embarrassing but I put it down to having too much to drink and of course, I didn't tell anyone and hid it,' Ryan said.
'I'd go to the toilet and not feel like I was emptying my bladder properly.
'I'd have to go again 20 minutes later because I couldn't hold it in.
He then noticed blood in his urine after a night out a few months later.
Ryan was diagnosed with stage two bladder cancer, making one of the 10,500 people in the UK each year - and 29 per day - to receive this life-changing news.
'I was in complete shock,' Ryan admitted.
Luckily, after two battles with the disease, Ryan is now in remission.

Analogue film photography 'magic' winning back growing numbers
Baby Ester's first moments were captured by her father using an analogue the birth of their first child was a no-brainer for Francis Sanders and his wife Naomi, as was their decision to use film. "There wasn't even a conversation about it, we were just going to do it on film," said Francis."It gives that nostalgic effect and a sort of magic and character that you can't characterise with digital photography... you get photos that just have more feeling in them."Francis, 34, is one of what appears to be a growing number of people embracing this more traditional method of photography. On Instagram more than 44 million photos are listed under the hashtag # year a study from research company Cognitive Market Research said the global film camera market value was set to reach some £303m by 2030, up from £223.2m in which produces film and cameras, said its film finishing department was currently running around the clock to keep up with Technology, which makes ILFORD film, said it had seen a significant rise in the use of film over the past decade and recently announced a multi-million pound investment to ensure it could continue to meet demand. Francis, who works as an eye surgeon, inherited film cameras from his father when he died in it wasn't until 2020 that he decided to have a go at using them himself and was pleased to discover a roll containing photos his dad had taken on a family trip the year before he began using the cameras to take photographs of family holidays and events and quickly became a fan of analogue film photography."It's that anticipation, the unknown and you don't have to worry about taking the perfect shot," he said. On the day of his wife's elective caesarean section he was put in charge of the playlist and photography. "I chose deliberately to shoot with a more automated camera to make life a lot easier," he said."I wanted to finish the roll so I just hammered it and it was great."Shooting on film, Francis had no idea if he had managed to successfully capture the precious moments. He took the camera roll to Ethan Fowler, a photographer who runs a photo lab from his home in Newport. When he went to collect the black and white images he was left feeling both relieved and moved."That initial moment of seeing our first child for the very first time, we'll never lose that now," said Francis."Just knowing that it actually worked as well was just a thrill."But film photography doesn't always go to the three months since his daughter was born Francis has taken two other rolls of film to Ethan expecting images of his daughter only to discover they were blank."I don't tend to worry about that stuff too much because what will be will be," laughed Francis. "I save my stress for work." Ethan had been developing his own photos at home for some time before he set up Newport Film Lab after spotting a resurgence in film photography. "It's a bit like vinyl, it is making a comeback," said the 27-year-old. "It's like fashion as well, things do end up doing a complete cycle."Working with film also takes him back to his childhood and the trips he would make to Boots to get photos developed with his grandmother."I remember those feelings of waiting to see pictures and the anticipation," he said. "You'd have to wait a couple of weeks to get them back and there was a buzz because you didn't always remember what you'd taken."These days he enjoys being able to create that anticipation for others, like Carol Hughes from Abergavenny. Carol, 68, contacted Ethan after finding an old roll of film that had belonged to her late had been in the back of a drawer for at least 40 years and she had no idea what was on was thrilled to discover photos of her late father, her brother and sister-in-law at home on their family farm with a litter of puppies."We were really pleased to find photos of family that we didn't know existed," she said. "It was a trip down memory lane." Ethan said he couldn't see people's love for film photography fading any time soon. "It's the imperfections - the dust, the scratches just add character," he said."It captures emotion so well."He is never happier than when in his darkroom."It's the water running, the chemistry, the smells," he said. "And you're the first person to see the film and the pictures after development and that's really special."

Outrageous price of ONE scoop of ice cream at Glastonbury revealed as customers forced to fork out £5
GLASTONBURY revellers are having to fork out £5 for just a single scoop of ice cream. One truck seen by The Sun reporters is charging festivalgoers the steep price point for a single ice cream with chocolate flake in a cone. 1 Sweet-toothed ravers are also being asked to cough up £5 for raspberry and strawberry Slushies and £4.50 for fruit frozen lollies. It comes after Glasto fans slammed the "ridiculous" price of food bought from stalls on Friday. A TikTokker known as sparked debate on social media after posting a clip of himself eating some French toast he'd bought. The sweet breakfast option with maple syrup costed £6 and came with three half slices of toast. But fellow TikTok users were quick to point out that meant the stall was charging £2 for half a slice of toast. "£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild," one said. Another said: "That's Glastonbury for ya...", however, another argued that "anything under £10 is ok" at the festival. Elsewhere at the festival, food trucks have been spotted selling loaded fries for £14 and Mac and Cheese for up to £16. Punters have also been faced with paying up to 40p extra for a pint at this year's festival. Pints of draught cider and beer cost from £6.95 to £7.20, up from £6.75 last year. A double shot of a spirit with a mixer is £13. Soft drinks like Cola Cola, Lemonade and Apple juice are the same price as last year, costing £3. The full on-site bar list was shared online, leaving some fans gobsmacked at the price hike from 2024. Some branded the prices "absolutely disgusting" while others were keen to be more positive. One said: "To be fair, at least at Glasto you can take your own alcohol in!" Glastonbury has been hit with controversy this year following Kneecap leading chants of "free Palestine" during their performance yesterday. The Sun asked Glastonbury to comment.
