Busted star Charlie Simpson has urged parents to be extra careful this summer after his son was rushed to hospital during a family holiday.The singer took to Instagram to explain that his four-year-old son Jago has spent the last three days in hospital after experiencing "secondary drowning." Secondary drowning happens when an individual inhales water due to a near drowning or struggle in the water.Charlie described the incident as "terrifying" and is sharing the post to raise awareness for anyone who may deal with similar situations in the future.

The singer added Jago was just minutes away from catching pneumonia and if he and his wife, Anna Barnard, didn't act as quick as they did the "outcome could have been very different".The caption said: "Hi all.

I wanted to share a terrifying experience we had recently with my youngest son Jago, in the hope that if it helps just one person avoid a similar situation, it will be worth it.

We were on holiday enjoying a morning in the pool. Jago is a strong swimmer for his age and he was swimming under water but suddenly came up spluttering and coughing."At no point was he left unattended, It was momentary, nothing seemingly unusual for kids to experience.
