Children's entertainer James Rees, best known as Jimmy Giggle, has spoken about the traumatic moment his newborn twin son Mack was rushed to the emergency room after suffering complications during a routine tongue-tie medical procedure. The Giggle and Hoot performer, 31, who dramatically exited DWTS in April due to his son's health shock, spoke to Studio 10 about how he and his wife Tori, 29, 'definitely thought they had lost' their child. 'We're not sure how close it really was,' a visibly emotional James told the show while holding back tears. He continued: 'The doctors may have told us but we both definitely thought it.' The usually upbeat performer said the couple broke down in tears one week later when they realised the true extent of their son's debilitating health scare. 'It was about a week later and we had Mack at back home and we hadn't even talked about it really and we (said), 'We're you thinking that?' and I said: 'I was thinking that,'' he revealed.
