GLADIATORS star Legend has rushed his son Mauro to hospital after he suffered a terrifying seizure in the bath.
Legend, real name Matt Morsia, and his wife Sarah got a scare when their little boy started fitting and went under the water, almost drowning.
Sarah shared a snap of her brave son in hospital tucking into some crisps after recovering from the frightening incident.
She explained that he has suffered a complication from a fever induced by chickenpox.
Sarah wrote on instagram: "Last week Mauro suffered from something called febrile convulsions.

"He was coming down with chicken pox and the fever caused seizures/ fitting (it is quite common in children around the age of 2 during the onset of an illness)
"We called an ambulance which came quickly and got us to hospital and he is fine now (just waiting for the last of the spots to go).
Anyway the first seizure happened when he was in the bath and within moments he was face down under the water and jerking uncontrollably."
Fortunately they avoided things getting a lot worse as Sarah was close by and pulled him out within seconds.
She continued: "Luckily I was sitting next to the bath and was able to pick him straight up and call Matt to help but it makes me feel sick to think of what might’ve happened."
Sarah added a word of caution for her followers, advising: "I wouldn’t usually share stuff like this but it’s easy to quickly put the socks in the wash or grab some pyjamas while the kids are in the bath but basically don’t… defo not worth the risk!"
Since the scary incident, the family have enjoyed some well-earned relaxation on holiday in Nerja, Spain.
They have shared a series of happy snaps from their break.
And Sarah confirmed Mauro is now fit and well.
She wrote: "P.s. As you can see, he’s much better and enjoying his holiday."
