Celebs Go Dating's Anna Williamson 'emotional' as she reveals son underwent surgery

Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson shared her worries with fans after revealing her son was undergoing surgery. The 44-year-old TV star took to her Instagram Stories to share a selfie of her pouting as she anxiously waited for the news about her son, Vincenzo, whom she shares with Alex Di Pasquale.

Anna, who also has a daughter, Eleonora, with her husband, captioned her post: "Is there a more vulnerable, lonesome feeling than leaving your child as they go into surgery. I'm feeling even more emotional because everyone at Addensbrooke's [Hospital] paediatrics is just so lovely."

Three hours later, she returned to her page to share a positive update with fans as she posted a picture of herself giving the camera a thumbs up.

The star wore a black vest and had her hair tied up into a bun as she sat beside her son, who was recovering in a hospital bed. "All done," she wrote with a thumbs-up emoji. "So relieved."

Last month, Anna revealed her approach to parenting as she offered advice to parents while discussing her own experience with her two children.

The couple, who have now been together for more than a decade, are parents to an eight-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.

Speaking to The Mirror, Anna discussed the Great British Phone Swap, a show in which parents swap phone habits with their children for two days.

Fronted by Anna and clinical psychologist Dr Martha Deiros Collado, the experiment explores topics including online safety and the use of AI. Each parent and child duo left the experience with a set of goals for their family, such as scheduled time away from devices and weekly check-ins.

When asked about her main takeaway, she said having "boundaries" and "healthy, open communication" is the most important.

Her own kids aren't on social media, but her eldest child has been asking when he will be allowed a phone.

She shared that even though he doesn't have one yet, she's already using parental control on games and apps that he's interested in on another device

"We're always fighting against screen time in my house but very much we try and lead from example," Anna explained.
