Former EastEnders star mourns son's death
Former EastEnders star Elaine Lordan’s baby son has died just days after his first birthday, her agent said tonight
James Manuel, who turned one last Tuesday, had been suffering from a serious medical condition, known as a diaphragmatic hernia.
His parents thought he was “over the worst” and were said to distraught by his “totally unexpected” death yesterday.
His death came only days after Lordan, a former star of EastEnders who recently made a brief appearance on ITV1’s I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here, had married her long-term partner and father of James.
She tied the knot with Peter last Thursday at Islington register office and James was present at the ceremony.
Lordan’s agent Kate Whaley said in a statement: “It is with tremendous sadness that we can confirm that Elaine Lordan and Peter Manuel’s son James Manuel passed away on Sunday.
“Elaine, Pete and their family and friends are devastated at their loss, and request that they are given time to deal with what is an incredibly sad time for them.
“We respectively request that no calls or visits are made directly to Elaine or Pete at this sad time and at the moment have no other information.
“Thanking you all in advance for your consideration at this sad time.”
RIP little bubba.

That's a Shame.
My deepest sympathy to the family, R I P little James
Being a mother myself I feel so desperately sorry for them especially as they thought he was over the worst and was now on the road to recovery. Let's hope Elaine is left alone by the press to grieve - I don't need to see a picture of her to know how devastated she must be feeling.
So, so sad.

I don't know what to say - that's so sad! :crying: And xmas is such a bad time for something like this to happen. I hope the press won't bother them too much about it - it must be even harder to cope with something like this when you are in the public eye!
poor Elaine she's had a lot of bad luck lately it's like since been in/leaving Eastenders she has been Cursed
