Una Healy’s daughter has been hospitalised after a "freak accident".
The 36-year-old Saturdays singer – who has Aoife Belle, five, and Tadgh, two, with husband Ben Foden – revealed her "brave little trooper" had undergone surgery after chipping a bone in her elbow when she fell over, and expressed her thanks to medical staff who were caring for the youngster.
She shared a photo of Aoife Belle, with her arm in a cast and sling and a smiley face drawn on her shoulder, and wrote on Instagram on Tuesday (23.01.18): "Our brave little trooper Aoife Belle. She suffered an unfortunate freak accident where she tripped and chipped a bone in her elbow that ended up requiring surgery.
"Thank you so much to all the fantastic care staff at Northampton General Hospital and Children’s A&E. We greatly appreciate your kindness and care. Thank you #NHS."
Meanwhile, Una has previously spoken of her struggle with postpartum depression after giving birth to her son.
She said: "I didn’t suffer first time round. It had a lot to do with circumstances the second time.
"As soon as I gave birth, we moved house and then Ben went in for major surgery. He was then a patient at home. I then went back to work too soon. I was on The Voice Ireland in six weeks after giving birth. It was difficult. You’re in this dense fog. Other people get out of it but I went thicker and thicker into the fog."
However, Una is "feeling great" now and hopes opening up about what happened will help other women going through a similar situation.
She added: "I went to the GP and they prescribed me anti-depressants. I gave them a go but started to feel worse because I was so numb.
"But it’s [anti-depressants] a great resource because it’s worked for other people. I literally had locked myself up in a dressing gown for six weeks. But I have also seen a behavioural therapist. I’m quite an anxious person because I worry all the time.
"I’m feeling great now. I was very nervous coming on to talk about it. I hope I can help other people and let them know that they aren’t alone."
