Former Hollyoaks star Claire Cooper has revealed her daughter Fiáin-Luna was rushed to hospital over the weekend.

The actress, who welcomed Fiáin-Luna into the world with her partner and former co-star Emmett J Scanlan in November, shared the news of her daughter's health emergency via Instagram on Wednesday night (October 4).

Claire uploaded a snap of her little one sleeping in a hospital cot to her Instagram Story, captioning it: "We had a very tough start to the weekend, so glad our little love is on the mend. Curveballs come out of nowhere, and sometimes it really does hit damn hard."

Claire and Emmett both made the decision to leave Hollyoaks in 2013, and married two years later.

In 2019, they tragically lost a baby, which Emmett opened about the following year to mark baby loss awareness week

"The trauma her body and mind went through in that year is beyond anything I can possibly comprehend. Helpless, all I could do was hold her hand. And once again, I fell in love just a little bit more," he said.

Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.

Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
