The NHS describes it as a "serious condition" where blood pools between the skull and surface of the brain.
Now Spoony has listed his Bedford home for sale - revealing the stunning interior of the family property.
It includes a library, ground floor study and an open-plan living and dining area for entertaining.
Spoony's huge garden has incredible views and is accessed via full-height sliding glass doors.
The property comes with six bedrooms, six bathrooms and a gym.
Spoony previously told fans he'd had surgery just before Christmas after being diagnosed with a subdural haematoma.
He had been suffering from severe headaches, a key symptom, for close to a month prior to the op but had battled through and continued with his day to day routine.
When it got too much he eventually went to A&E where he was sent for a CT scan and a small bleed on the brain was discovered.
He was immediately referred to Addenbrookes in Cambridgeshire for specialist treatment.
He said: "Crazy as I'd been working and training solidly all through the time of the headaches."

The music star described the surgery as "routine" though praised the "very high standard" of skill from the surgeon and their team.
He continued: "Within 10mins of the operation I was on my way back to the ward. Fully alert. Chatting. Not groggy after the general.
"Couldnt wait to have that banana by my bed as I'd been nil by mouth since 1pm the previous day. That was the best banana I've ever had….as for the ginger shot. Perfect."

Pregnant Katherine Ryan flashes her baby bump in a cut out top and netted skirt as she leads the stars at The Real Housewives of London premiere
Pregnant Katherine Ryan showed off her baby bump in a cut out top and netted skirt as she lead the stars at The Real Housewives of London premiere on Wednesday. The comedian, 42, who is expecting her fourth child with husband Bobby Kootstra, already has son Fred, four, as well as daughters Violet, 16, and Fenna, two. Katherine looked incredible in the plunging white top which she layered under an oversized blazer as she cosied up to hunky partner Bobby on the red carpet. The TV star elevated her frame in a pair of towering glittering heels and toted her belongings in a matching handbag. Styling her short blonde tresses tucked behind her ears, Katherine accessorised with a chunky gold chain necklace and hoop earrings. The couple coordinated for the evening as Bobby rocked a black blazer with a white T-shirt and white trousers as they posed for photos. Elsewhere The Real Housewives Of London stars dressed to impress for the evening in glamorous gowns. The reality show, which is set to hit screens next week, stars six stunning cast members Karen Loderick-Peace, Panthea Parker, Amanda Cronin, Nessie Welschinger, Juliet Mayhew and Juliet Angus. Following in the footsteps of their counterparts in Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New York and closer afield in Cheshire, the new series has been a long time coming for fans of the franchise. After 19 years on air and filming in more than 15 locations, the hit reality show has landed in England's swirling capital. A set of videos dropped, inviting viewers to 'meet the wives' in clips that offer an insight into the larger-than-life characters at the heart of London's social scene. The glamorous ladies have already teased 'volcanic' levels of drama in their new intro videos ahead of the series airing. The Bravo series first went to Orange County, California, almost 20 years ago in 2006, and adjacent shows have since cropped up in numerous locations, including Nigeria and even Poland. And the London iteration of the adored show will be streamed by Hayu from August 18. It promises champagne-fuelled catfights and caviar aplenty in the city's wealthiest neighbourhoods. 'I think the Housewives breed takes a special kind of person,' upcoming London housewife Juliet Angus told RadioTimes. 'Every one of these girls has that quality - no-holds-barred, very honest and straightforward and fun and wild, and you don't know what you're going to get.' The ladies told the outlet that viewers should expect the 'unexpected,' likening the dramatic scenes to a 'volcano'.

Love Island's Liberty Poole 'SPLITS from DJ boyfriend after her friends warned he was using her for fame'
Love Island star Liberty Poole has reportedly split from boyfriend Joshua Raybould after a year of dating. The pair, who went official with their romance last August, have decided to go their separate ways after failing to see eye to eye on a few things. Liberty and Joshua split a few weeks ago due to 'not being a compatible match long-term' and reports that he was 'using her for fame'. A source told The Sun: 'Liberty and Joshua made the tough decision to end their relationship. They had an amazing year together, especially in the early stages when they were attached at the hip and going on holidays. 'They loved getting to know each other, despite concerns from her friends that he was using her for fame. 'But once the honeymoon period was over, it was clear that they weren't a compatible match long-term. Liberty is focusing on her new business and only wants people around her that are truly supportive. 'It was fun while it lasted, but they both have different priorities and they couldn't make it work.' Daily Mail have contacted Liberty and Joshua's representative for comment. Since breaking up, Liberty and Joshua have unfollowed each other on social media and Joshua has wiped his Instagram of all the pictures of the couple together. Liberty has been busy promoting her new swimwear range Uplifted The Label while Joshua has been continuing to post snap of him on nights out and DJing. Earlier this year, Liberty showcased her enviable curves as she posed in a hot pink bikini to make an inspiring body positive message. The Love Island alum took to her Instagram to share a sizzling video of her heading to a swimming pool in a bold two-piece that displayed her incredible figure. Despite looking as radiant as ever, she candidly shared her innermost insecurities in the clip, writing over the top about how she felt that her body wasn't 'summer ready' and didn't 'fit the beauty standards'. Liberty took the opportunity to then share a powerful message about self-love, as she insisted that 'all bodies are swimsuit bodies' and urged her followers to 'love the skin you're in'. The start of the video was captioned: 'Negative Thoughts: Everyone is judging how I look right now. My body isn't summer ready. 'I can't wear a swimsuit until I lose weight. I need to hide my cellulite and rolls because they don't fit the beauty standards.' But proudly smiling at the camera and relaxing in the sunshine, she then changed the writing on the clip to read: 'Reality: All bodies are swimsuit bodies confidence is the best thing you can wear. 'Stretch marks and cellulite are normal and don't make you less worthy. No one is paying as much attention to your body as you think live your life for you. You deserve to feel the sun on your skin just as you are.' In the caption, the reality star added: 'Reminder that your different body types are all going to look beautiful in your bikinis this summer enjoy yourself and love the skin your in [sic]'. Liberty shot to fame on Love Island 2021, where she famously walked away from the villa following her break up with ex-boyfriend Jake Cornish. She later went on to compete in 2023's Spin Off show Love Island Games where she was once again reunited with Jake. But after his exit, she started to explore a connection with Mitch Taylor. However, she was eliminated from the island on Day 13 after failing to find anything romantic with him.

CPR theory test changes 'mean so much' to dad after daughter's death
A dad has said it became his "mission" to increase awareness about CPR and how to use a defibrillator after his daughter's Len Noakes, chair of NHS group Save a Life Cymru, has spearheaded the push for changes to be made to driving theory tests which will result in a new set of first aid questions being added early next daughter Claire Noakes tragically died at the age of 25 from complications following a cardiac arrest in Noakes said he was left in tears after the theory test changes, hailing it as a "significant step" towards increasing survival rates from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Wales, which are currently less than 5%. Speaking previously to NHS Wales, Prof Noakes said he received a phone from his daughter's friend saying she had collapsed."By the time we got there, which is only five minutes away, the paramedics were there already working on Claire," he Noakes told Radio Wales Drive he remembered asking if his daughter was breathing when he received the phone person said she was breathing but "it was funny", the medical director at Cardiff City FC said she was showing signs of agonal breathing, or sudden, irregular gasps of breath, which is closely associated with a cardiac arrest. "But you wouldn't expect someone who isn't aware of cardiac arrests to know that."Prof Noakes said he hoped young drivers having the knowledge and ability to identify a cardiac arrest will help people in similar situations."They can get on and dial 999. They will tell you how to start CPR and where the nearest defibrillator is," he Noakes' daughter spent the next nine months unresponsive before she died."You can't stop this happening. But you can do your best to make sure other families don't have to go through this," he said. Prof Noakes said he looked to other European countries for inspiration when he was appointed as the chair of Save a Life Cymru, which was established in 2019 by the Welsh government to make sure people know what to do if an out of hospital cardiac arrest said: "Some have the CPR in the driving test. Combining this with education has led to a significant rise in the survival rate."Prof Noakes described Wales' survival rate as "shocking" but said he hoped these changes will increase the said it "meant so much" to know that questions are being added to the driving theory test early next since they are aimed at new drivers, what advice does he have for people who have already passed their theory test?"Go online. There are a number of online tutorials you can look at," he said."If you want to physically learn how to do it there are a number of organisations offering training such as the St John's Ambulance service."We can all give it our best shot to help someone having a cardiac arrest."
