Teen Mom UK star Amber Butler and her two young sons were forced out of their home after a gas leak left the children ill.
In an exclusive interview with Daily Star Amber detailed the experience, which she branded “the worst couple of months”.
She explained: “I had two family members that passed away, two funerals within one week, I was also filming at the time […] then I had a big gas leak and carbon monoxide leak in my house.

“Hudson used to, I’d say suffer in a way, with really bad nosebleeds. Not just a little trickle, I mean [blood was] pouring out, and Brooklyn used to feel sick a lot and feel really ill.
“I’d take him to the doctors but there would never be any explanation for it, they’d just say: ‘He clearly gets nosebleeds, trying to get time off school,’ the carbon monoxide explained why Hudson was getting them.”
Amber said that her son “hasn’t had a nosebleed since” the incident occurred.
“It was a really scary time to go through. I actually had to leave my house, the council cordoned my house off and were like: ‘It’s dangerous to live here’.
“I had to move out very unexpectedly, right there that minute. Right in the middle of filming!”
The reality star admitted that the experience “put a lot on hold” for her, including her desire to “do some volunteering” and her passion for hiking.
“I didn’t know where my life was [going to] turn out in that minute, I didn’t know – I was technically homeless.
“It’s not something I would ever want to go through again, put it that way! I just felt so sorry for the boys.”
When asked how she’s doing now, Amber replied: “I was looking for a new house, but there is nothing – it’s so hard to find a house right now as I only rent.
“I’ve had an absolute nightmare […] I’m really proud of myself, how I handled the situation I was put through. I’m back in my house now, it’s all safe, we’ve had no nosebleeds, no sickness.”
Butler explained that she is “just trying to settle in as much as she can” after the incident turned her life upside down.
“My storyline was not how I expected […] Before we start filming, I start planning what I want to do in the next year – I had expectations, goals, what I wanted to achieve. Things were going well for me, but as always something happened in my life, unexpectedly.”
