The former Coronation Street actress feared she would lose the three-year-old she shares with partner Lewis Devine.
In a lengthy post, Lucy – who also has daughter Sienna with her ex Alan Halsall, shared: “Carter was 18 months. He was in the trolley, eating snacks while I was getting tea with Sienna, and he suddenly looked at me and I knew something was severely wrong!
“He went grey, his mouth went blue and he started to go all limp. He was struggling to catch his breath.
“God did my heart sink, I literally grabbed him out of the trolley, abandoned the shopping and Sienna and I just ran to my car!

“I strapped him in his car seat (which was awful because at this point he was going in and out of consciousness and his skin was going all mottled, and I couldn’t hold him close as I had to drive to A&E!
“It was 10 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime, my poor Sienna was crying in the back asking me if he was going to die.
“I kept trying to reassure her he was fine, but I couldn’t stop the tears, I honestly thought we were losing him! I kept talking to him, telling him to stay with us and he was trying god love him!
“I remember pulling up outside A&E and I just ran into the hospital cradling Carter with Sienna by my side and screaming, ‘He’s not breathing’.
