EastEnders star's son, 1, rushed to A&E after nasty fall and ‘violent vomiting'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EASTENDERS star James Bye's young son was rushed to hospital after projectile vomiting following a nasty fall on a trampoline. One-year-old Rufus's mum frantically called 111 in the middle of the night during the half-term break after he became violently ill hours after landing on his head in a garden tumble. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 James Bye and wife Victoria's son Rufus had to go to hospital during half term Credit: Life with the Byes 3 The youngster fell off a trampoline hours before being struck down by a sick bug Credit: Life with the Byes The doctor's diagnosis of gastroenteritis, rather than concussion, took her by surprise. But any doubts were soon swiftly put to bed, quite literally. She wrote on Instagram: "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." To make things more awkward, the family were staying with James' parents at the time with their incontinent dog. Reflecting on the ordeal, Victoria called it a "s**t show". James, 41, and Victoria were back up and running last week after the nasty illness, and the actor showcased a very different look following his EastEnders exit. He rocked a set of dashing sideburns and swept back hair - a look which was miles away from market trader Martin Fowler. EastEnders' James Bye lands a big-money role away from the BBC soap after Strictly fame There was a reason for it. His new role sees him take on iconic Jane Austen hero Mr Darcy in Death Comes To Pemberley. James previously said: "After a decade of gritty storylines it's going to be quite a switch to put on period clothes as one of literature's romantic leading men, but I can't wait for this new chapter to begin." Written by P.D. James, the 2011 novel is a murder-mystery continuation of Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The stage adaptation is by Duncan Abel and Rachel Wagstaff, while it is directed by Joe Harmston. It also includes Endeavour star Sean Rigby as Colonel Fitzwilliam. Earlier this year soap fans shed tears as Martin died heroically following an explosion in the Queen Vic pub. The fruit-and-veg stall holder stayed behind to rescue his beloved ex-wife Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and the pair professed their love for one another before he died.
