Hollyoaks star Daisy Wood Davis reveals her horror after a bookshelf falls on her baby son
HOLLYOAKS star Daisy Wood Davis has revealed her horror after a bookshelf fell on her baby son.
The 32-year-old shared what happened with her social media followers in a candid snap hugging her little boy, Asa.
The Hollyoaks actress looked as though she’d been crying with smudged mascara beneath her eyes.
Daisy wrote: “Parenting is no joke. I spent the sacred nap time arguing with my accountant (whole other story).
“I then woke him up to have his bookshelf fall on top of us (thank god I was there to stop it falling on him).
“Then 20 minutes later he fell out the front door. He’s fine but my nerves are shot to s**t and I would like to wrap him up in cotton wool, keep him on this sofa and get myself an IV drip of wine please and yes, my face is completely tear stained as I cried after all 3 events.”
Daisy, who played Kim Butterfield in the hit soap until, then shared a look at the bookshelf which had fallen to the floor.
Books could be seen scattered all over the place after the incident, and the star added: “Could’ve been really dangerous and ultimately my fault so feel really disappointed in myself but hey, that’s motherhood.
“Hope this may be a reminder for you to check that your bookshelves aren’t being over filled and are as secure as possible.”
Daisy went on to thank her legion of fans for checking in to see if she was ok after the incident, while also sharing their own stories of accidents with their children.
The star shares her adorable tot with her husband Luke, who portrayed Jesse Donovan in Hollyoaks.
Baby boy Asa arrived early as Luke took to Instagram to reveal his son was born in September not October, in 2021.
Alongside a snap of the baby’s tiny foot, Luke wrote: “Asa Sean Wood-Mehdizadeh was born on Tuesday 28th September at 9:50am – the same date as my Grandad, who died in the same month Asa was conceived.
“The song playing on our speaker when he was born was ‘Back to Life’ by Soul II Soul, which was completely random as Spotify had started to shuffle songs similar to last played.
“Asa means ‘healer’ in Hebrew and I feel like he has already brought so much healing to me and my family.”
