EastEnders star Steve McFadden is spending every spare minute at the bedside of his “very sick” baby daughter Amelie, The Sun reports today.

Amelie was rushed to London’s Whittington Hospital last Wednesday night suffering from breathing difficulties. Doctors diagnosed bronchiliitis, a condition which causes respiratory distress.

Steve and four month old Amelie’s mother, Dr Rachel Green, split after just a few months together when Rachel returned to her husband, surgeon James Green, but the pair remain in touch over their daughter…

Dr Rachel Green is quoted by the paper as saying, “It’s extremely worrying. Amelie is very ill and I’m devastated.

“I just want her to get better.”

Steve and Rachel have both been keeping a vigil at the little girl’s side since she was admitted.
