Former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh has explained that her recent social media absence is due to her undergoing surgery for an injury inflicted by her three-year-old daughter, Aurelia.
The influencer, 35, shares Aurelia and her eldest daughter Sienna, four, with her fellow E4 cast member, Hugo Taylor, 38.
While toddlers are never the easiest, Millie has endured quite the rollercoaster few weeks after Aurelia knocked her head back and fractured the star’s nose by accident.
‘If I’ve been quiet on here recently, there’s a reason why…’ Millie began in a lengthy social media post alongside a carousel of photos documenting her life lately, including her hospital stint.
‘Three weeks ago, Aurelia accidentally fractured my nose!’ Millie revealed, explaining: ‘She threw her head back while I was holding her and the back of her skull hit me right in the middle of my nose.
‘I heard a crack, went to get it checked, and ended up needing surgery at the end of last week to correct the fracture.’
Directing her post to her parent followers, Millie asked: ‘Has this ever happened to other parents? Seriously a parenting low – but also, you kind of have to laugh.’
It turns out, Millie is not alone.
Her follower sorujewellery revealed: ‘Yes my daughter when about 3 scratched my eye ball by mistake while grabbing at my face…. Ripped off the top layers I was in so much pain I thought I was going to faint.’
Another admitted her child recently scratched her cornea, too.
Others thanked Millie for her honesty about parenting, as megancole_ said: ‘Love all the honesty. Parenting is not always easy for sure but glad you’re okay.’
danaemercer said: ‘Oh darling. What an honest post. Thank you.’
While Millie and Hugo’s dating years were documented on Made in Chelsea – including the time Millie famously threw a drink over him – the married couple spent years apart before reconnecting in 2016.

Millie has previously said of her husband: ‘I feel so lucky to have found my soulmate – our path to each other may have had a few detours but we ultimately found our way, and I am truly blessed to be on this crazy journey called life with you and our beautiful children.’
Since leaving the SW4 TV show, Millie has garnered 1.3million followers for her candid posts about life and parenting.
