Sam Bailey, crowned winner of The X Factor in 2013, has opened up about her personal heartache over her son's health struggle. The 46 year old became a household name after winning the 10th series of the ITV reality show, and has become a respected professional singer and theatre star over the last decade.
"I knew the transition from primary school to secondary school was going to be difficult for him," she told the TV channel. "And I think as parents we were kind of in denial that there was anything untoward that was different or anything and we were told that he would really struggle and to get a diagnosis."
"Trying not to be “google doctors” but it’s so difficult when you don’t know what is causing your son so have these horrendous seizures so suddenly. I wish to thank the ambulance crews and doctors that have been amazing with him.. let’s hope we get some answers soon."
