After uploading an image showing him in the medical ward, with his bed surrounded by blue curtains, he wrote: "Just a very sad update from me. "Really scary situation but I am currently in hospital so for anyone trying to contact me sorry I haven't got back to you!" Liam, who landed his "dream job" at InTheStyle following his reality TV stint before going on to found his company Rede Talent, continued: "Unfortunately, a few nights ago, I suffered a really scary turn in the middle of the night, essentially I was paralysed for 30 minutes and couldn't move or talk. read more snowflake mountain MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB Snowflake Mountain fans call out huge problem with Netflix reality show "I came out of it and ignored it but my speech didn't fully return properly and then it happened again yesterday. "I was taken into hospital and I'm being treated for a mini stroke also known as a Transient Ischemic Attack as I can't feel the right side of my face. "But right now, they're not 100 per cent what caused this to happen, I'm undergoing so many tests, blood tests and scans to either try and find a blood clot or what caused this to happen." He rounded off with the words: "Will keep everyone updated." NEW LOOK Liam's health shock came just weeks after we reported the TV star had lost a whopping 6.5stone through his use of fat jabs. In April, he showcased before and after images of his impressive new look in a candid post on Instagram. Netflix fans all have the same complaint about new show Snowflake Mountain where 'clueless kidults' get rude awakening The TV star and businessman, who has spoke openly about his use of weight loss jabs, took to his Instagram grid for a post showcasing his new svelte look. In words emblazoned on the snaps the Coventry lad wrote: "Probably needed a hug. "Lost 6.5 stone instead." Alongside the mirror selfies showing off his new slender figure he filled fans in on the finer details. What are the other side effects of weight loss jabs? Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects. Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include: Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts. Vomiting: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea. Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset. Constipation: Some individuals may also experience constipation. Stomach pain or discomfort: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort. Reduced appetite: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss. Indigestion: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating. Serious side effects can also include: Pancreatitis: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. Kidney problems: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon. Thyroid tumors: There's a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic. Vision problems: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin. He wrote: "I've been on Mounjaro 1 year this month so thought I'd jump on this trend! "It's been a journey and not a very easy one at that, it's been hard at times and I've felt like giving it all up but I've stuck by my guns and kept pushing through. "As I've now started lowering my doses and taking them every other week rather than every week, it gets more mentally challenging to fight away the thoughts every single day to slip back into old bad habits but I haven't come this far to just go 10 steps back! "I have to look at my photos from then and now to motive me to carry on." Mounjaro is an injectable prescription medicine that is used alongside diet and exercise to regulate blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. Yet some users have reported horror stories of "almost dying" after using the drug. TV CAREER Snowflake Mountain saw 10 contestants put through their paces at a camp in order to try and kickstart them into standing on their own two feet. The back-to-basics retreat was a rude awakening to just how pampered their lives had been so far. There was no running water, no parents to wait on them - and worst of all, no Wi-Fi. But by connecting to nature, they learned to graduate as fully-functioning adults, with a generous cash prize up for grabs. Putting them through their paces were Joel and Matt - one a former Army Combat Engineer for almost 10 years and the other, a former member of the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal. "Now, me and Matt, who survived off the land our whole lives, are gonna take these kids back to basics," Joel said. "Why? Cause the wilderness forces you to toughen up! Are they gonna rise to the challenge or are they are gonna do what they do best? It's not gonna be easy!" At the time, fans called out a glaring problem with the Netflix reality series. As fans tuned in, many took to X with complaints about the conditions provided for the spoiled millennials. Alongside an array of angry-faced emojis, one person penned: "The hilarious thing about Snowflake Mountain is that these kids are basically glamping. Terrible show." 6 Liam told how he was undergoing numerous tests after his suspected mini stroke Credit: Instagram 6 He found fame on the reality series which saw 10 contestants sent to camp Credit: Netflix

Louise shared an update on her health battle HEARTBREAKING Louise Thompson's fiance reveals harrowing moment she was 'ten minutes from death' haemorrhaging blood at home Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOUISE Thompson's fiancé Ryan Libey has shared the terrifying moment she was 'ten minutes from death' after haemorrhaging blood 'like someone turning on a hose' weeks after giving birth to their son Leo. In a raw and emotional interview on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, Ryan spoke about Louise's traumatic labour that lasted over 36 hours - a nightmare that saw Louise fighting for her life. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Ryan Libbey has recalled Louis Thompson's terrifying health crisis after the birth of their son 6 The Made In Chelsea star nearly died giving birth to their son Leo-Hunter in 2021 Credit: instagram 6 Louise Thompson hospital diaries, Credit: Instagram The ordeal escalated into an emergency C-section that should have lasted 45 minutes but dragged on for almost four hours. Louise was awake throughout, losing a huge amount of blood. When Leo was born, he was in distress, suffering respiratory issues linked to meconium, a bowel obstruction in newborns. But the nightmare didn't end at the hospital. Weeks later, Louise suffered a haemorrhage at home that nearly killed her. He said: 'I was in our bedroom. She was in the spare bedroom. 'And we'd done that because, well, one, there's extra stairs to climb to get to our bedroom, and she was not mobile. 'Two, I just wanted her to go into a space where she could just rest and not worry about the baby or how untidy the bedroom was—just go somewhere that's ready for you. 'So she was in there, and just the shriek, or the shout, or the scream—whatever best describes this—just pierced through my body. 'And I must have flown from one bedroom down the staircase to the other. Louise Thompson shares crippling health battle saying her brain was 'on fire' 'And I would describe it as like a gunshot victim on the floor. 'I've never seen blood like it. Not even compared to the hospital. I've never seen it." Ryan revealed their white bed sheets turned red while he was holding Leo, who was screaming. He said: 'I can't actually remember where Leo is in this moment in time. I feel like he's in my arms. I think he was with me versus in the bed with Louise. 'So he's in my arms, tiny little thing screaming, and Louise is in this bed which is filled with blood and sort of… 'Louise herself described the blood loss as if 'someone had switched a hose on.'" Ryan desperately tried to stop the bleeding with bath towels while holding their tiny son. He called 999, fearing she wouldn't survive the next ten minutes. He told them: ''If you don't get here in ten minutes, she's probably going to die, because the level of blood that I'm looking at is insane'. 'And these bath towels that I was trying to plug the bleed with quickly absorbed it and turned red. 'So I'm changing the towels. Louise is sort of slipping into this state of surrender, to be honest with… And then the ambulance did show up very quickly, actually. Louise Thompson's Full Health Battle THE Made in Chelsea alumni has always spoken candidly about her health - yet what does she suffer from? Ulcerative Colitis Louise was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis before becoming a mum. It is a condition which causes the colon and rectum to become inflamed - with her new stoma bag "saving her life" after the debilitating battle PTSD The Pocket sportswear founder was frank when she opened up on her post-natal birth struggles. She told how she had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in late 2022 following the birth of her son Leo. It came after she nearly died twice in childbirth in December 2021. Incurable Lupus Back in 2022, Louise was diagnosed with incurable Lupus. The autoimmune disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your tissues and organs. Blood loss In February 2024, it was revealed that she had once again been admitted to the hospital. In the aftermath, Louise told how she had "survived a second time" after losing three litres of blood. It came after the brave star haemorrhaged at home. Thankfully, paramedics arrived quickly and saved her life — but this was just one of multiple life-threatening episodes. Ryan also revealed Louise suffered a third major haemorrhage following a medical procedure months later. He described returning home from work to find Louise being loaded into an ambulance amid a scene he called 'a murder scene' in their bathroom. Ryan opened up about Louise's devastating battle with postpartum depression after the trauma. He said: 'We even had a crisis-management team come very regularly, which—to be really honest with you—was a suicide watch because she was so mentally checked out. 'Which is absolutely terrifying, and I don't think I've quite processed that one. I think that was… that was something that I wanted to reframe straight away." Louise has since proudly revealed she has had a lifesaving stoma bag fitted after a long health battle. She has also been battling PTSD and anxiety since giving birth to Leo in 2021. 6 She gave birth via an emergency cesarean as she lost over three litres of blood Credit: Louise Thompson instagram 6 Louise also suffers from a chronic inflammatory bowel condition called Ulcerative Colitis Credit:
