TOWIE star Cara Kilbey says she's 'digusted' by £100 parking ticket after son rushed to A&E
TOWIE star Cara Kilbey has spoken out after being left "disgusted" by a hospital parking ticket following the stress of having to rush her son to hospital after had become "really ill". The 37-year-old mum-of-three said her husband Daniel Harris took their son Jagger to hospital at around 8pm and waited at A&E for about eight hours.
But days later, he received a parking charge of £100 as he forgot to pay at the machine. Complaining on Instagram, Cara wrote: "Right so this really pisses me off... Jagger was really ill last week so Daniel took him to the hospital and waited around eight hours for A&E from 8pm.
"A parking charge has come through the door today for £100. This disgusts me. People go to hospitals, not for a laugh, but because someone is sick and in need. Why parking fines in hospitals? People don't have the time to pay a parking charge in a rush for A&E. At least give them seven days at least to pay the original parking fee."
