"Everybody close to me knows whats going on.
"But yeah, for the last year and a half I've really had a hard time with asthmatic symptoms but I've never had it before in my life, like breathing.
"Anyway I've been in A&E a couple of times with massive asthma attacks, never dealt with it my whole life.
"But through testing and everything they've found a bunch of things going on with my sinuses. So it's not a massive surgery but the bill sure is. Because the NHS could not fit me in for another year.

"And I can't live like this anymore.
"I will keep updated and let everyone know that I am ok.

"Basically due to a clerical error I got discharged from the NHS in October and they weren't able to see me until December this year and it has been nothing but frustrating.
"I'm excited to get it done but it's not an easy one to swallow with changing everything. But everything works out in the end and you just keep... (going) you know?"

Irish Love Islander Megan Forte Clarke 'easily charmed' as hopeful set for twist
Love Island's Irish beauty Megan Forte Clarke has said she is "easily charmed" as she makes her debut in the villa tonight. The reality TV show is back tonight, with 12 brand new singletons all looking to find 'The One'. The girls - Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena - enter the stunning Mallorcan Villa first and get to know one another. But it's dating that's on their mind and they quickly start talking about being excited to meet the boys and start shouting for boys to enter the Villa. They don't have to wait long as host Maya Jama arrives and takes them to the firepit for a chat. Getting straight to the point, Maya asks them what each of their types are with Shakira saying: "Tall, muscly, nice smile but for me it's all about personality. Witty, funny, charming." Helena laughs as she adds: "Personality always, my bar is low, I'm not fussy!" Meg teases that she wants: "Tanned skin, taller and naughty eyes." Sophie says: "I want someone that's a gentleman, not a man child." Megan says: "I'm easily charmed, which is the problem…" Alima says she's looking for: "A Prince Charming Disney Prince… with no facial hair." Maya then has a big announcement, which shocks the girls as she explains: "This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool." As the girls line up, Maya explains: "Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?" On the boards the girls see descriptions for this year's boys: Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. The girls have to decide who they'd like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boys' names, ages, jobs and a headline, such as "I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard…", to help them decide who to pick. After discussing the profiles and trying to work out who might be right for them, Maya counts to three and they must run to a heart, with only one girl allowed to stand by each heart. With only seconds to make a decision, will they all get the boy they wanted? Or will the girls be left eager to swap. Now it's over to the boys. Decisions made, they enter the villa one-by-one to meet their match…will it be love at first write or were the girls too quick to judge their type? After the newly coupled-up Islanders spend a bit of time getting to know one another, later that evening, Maya makes a shock return to the villa with some huge news. Gathering everyone at the firepit, Maya reveals the day isn't over yet and someone new is already on their way. Suddenly, the series' first bombshell Toni makes a dramatic entrance into the villa. The Islanders are quick to realise she's come all the way from the US as Toni teasingly says: "Good evening UK! Surprise!" The Islanders can't believe there's an American bombshell and there's clearly some excitement amongst the boys… and some concerns for the girls. Maya then drops some more big news: not only has Toni just arrived all the way from the States, but she is also going to immediately steal one of the boys. Hearing the power is in her hands, Toni coyly replies: "Interesting…" And that's not all, Maya has more news for one Islander. The clock is ticking and their time in the villa could be over quicker than you can say señorita…
