The mother-of-three shared a picture of the tot recovering in bed alongside her sister Nelly and assured her followers that her daughter is now home and on the mend.
Billie wrote: ‘Yesterday morning our little darling Margot had another febrile seizure.’
‘It was again due to a spike in her temperature, it never gets easier to cope with just so scary and awful for your little baby to go through that (heartbreak emoji).’

In May last year, Billie recalled the terrifying moment she screamed to ‘call an ambulance’ as her daughter Margot was rushed to hospital after another seizure.
Billie reflected on the frightening moment her daughter ‘went stiff’ after her temperature spiked, leading her to rush the tot to A&E.
She reflected on the dramatic health scare in the first episode of the latest series of Billie and Greg: The Family Diaries.
In the episode, a voiceover said: ‘Billie and Greg are faced with an emergency, resulting in little Margot being rushed to hospital.’
Billie then shared in a VT: ‘We were at Greg’s sister’s having lunch and Margot wasn’t 100% that day, she had flushed cheeks.’
‘She could have been teething, it was nothing out of the ordinary. The kids were having some food, I turned around and Margot had gone completely stiff.’
‘Straight away I grabbed her out the high chair, all I remember is me screaming: “Someone help me” and then she stopped breathing. I screamed: “Someone call an ambulance!”‘

Billie continued: ‘For me, my head…’ She then broke down in tears, before being comforted by her husband Greg.
She then continued: ‘When we got to the hospital, they said she had a febrile seizure, where basically her temperate had spiked so quickly and her body tried to regulate her temperature. As a result of that, some babies and young children have seizures.’
‘Once we were in the hospital, I definitely felt like I was in the right place, where I needed to be, it just made me feel a little bit more reassured.’
‘After six hours in A&E, the doctors sent us home and asked us just to keep an eye on Margot.’
