TOWIE Star's Son Loses Finger in Skating Horror
19 Feb
Summary
- Beau, 6, had finger severed by skate blade during New Year's Day accident.
- Doctors attempted reattachment surgery, but it was unsuccessful.
- His mother is petitioning the government to mandate protective gloves.
Ex-TOWIE personality Chloe Lewis shared the distressing news that her six-year-old son, Beau, lost a finger in a severe ice skating accident on New Year's Day. The incident occurred when another skater's blade severed the digit. Beau was rushed to The Royal London Hospital for emergency surgery.
Despite surgical efforts to reattach the finger, the procedure was ultimately unsuccessful. Eight weeks post-accident, the reattached portion did not take, potentially requiring a further operation. The traumatic experience has profoundly affected Lewis.
Motivated by this event, Lewis has launched a petition urging the government to implement mandatory protective gloves for children while ice skating. She hopes to gather 100,000 signatures to trigger a parliamentary debate and prevent future child injuries.
