Harrison Boon struck a serious expression in his selfie, which saw him clad in a white medical gown.
Yet the controversial MAFS alum - who faced allegations of bullying and was at the centre of a series of spats during his time on the show - attempted to make light of his mystery condition in the caption.
He wrote: "Turns out there's no cure for narcissicsm.
"Sorry guys."
His medical condition is currently unclear.
The worrying news comes just months after Harrison announced his engagement to girlfriend Gina Ha, who he has been dating for just over a year.
MAFS CHAOS
It was an unhappier time for Harrison on the reality TV series.
He was swiftly hailed a show villain for allegedly gaslighting his wife.
Harrison first caused a stir when he upset bride Bronte on their wedding day.
One of her bridesmaids told her that Harrison had been dating a girl in the lead up to the wedding, and wanted to be with her when he finished the show.

While Bronte gave him the benefit of the doubt, she later slept with him on honeymoon, only for him to remark that there was "no chemistry" between them.
Later in the series, Harrison was accused of 'bullying' for the way he spoke about the other couples during the commitment ceremonies.
When Evelyn challenged him, they exchanged a war of words, prompting Melinda to jump in with: "You're just a rude guy! It's bullying. It's attacking everyone here.'
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
But Harrison was having none of it, firing back: "'It's not bullying. Don't play the sex card, grow up!".
Needless to say, he and Bronte didn't go the distance and split before final vows.
'Harrison, we're done, we're over and I honestly never want to see you again," Bronte shouted at him when they split during the final dinner party.
After the series aired, Harrison hit out amid the fan backlash.
He said: "The network hid 90 per cent of Bronte's behaviour, so imagine how bad she must have been what they didn't show, in order for her to look equally as bad as me, when I'm just reacting to it."

Inside John Torode's 20-year BBC career from meeting his wife on MasterChef to sacking
John Torode was at the helm of MasterChef alongside former host Gregg Wallace for 20 years, but it was a chance meeting in the 1990s that led to the duo's partnership Australian-born chef John Torode was steering the ship of MasterChef alongside Gregg Wallace for two decades before they were both axed from the BBC programme. The production company behind MasterChef recently released a report into Wallace's behaviour on the show, conducted by law firm Lewis Silkin. The company's investigation substantiated 45 of the allegations made against the presenter, the majority of which related to inappropriate sexual language and humour. Meanwhile, a small number of allegations relating to the star being in a state of undress and one claim of unwanted physical contact were also substantiated. Torode, who hosted MasterChef for nearly 20 years alongside Wallace, confirmed recently he was the person alleged to have used racist language after an investigation into Wallace. However, John claimed he had no memory of making the comment and denies it ever happened. The BBC and Banijay soon confirmed they wouldn't be renewing his contract as they both released a statement. Before the accusations against Wallace and Torode were known to the public, the show was a huge hit with fans. It was initially dubbed MasterChef Goes Large when the pair took up presenting duties in 2005, after first crossing paths in the 1990s when Wallace, a greengrocer to London's finest eateries for over 20 years, started supplying Torode's ventures. Born in Sydney, Australia in 1965, the 59-year-old was a regular chef on This Morning, sharing screen time with Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, before gaining widespread recognition with Wallace on the reimagined version of the programme. Alongside Wallace, Torode also fronted the spin-off Celebrity MasterChef and co-hosted an episode of the satirical BBC quiz Have I Got News For You in 2011. Their take on the show was a new rendition of the original series from 1990-2001, hosted by Loyd Grossman. Over the years, whispers have circulated that the duo didn't see eye-to-eye off-camera, although Wallace has previously stated they are on good terms. MasterChef's Wallace once shared a candid moment about his friendship with co-star Torode, recounting during a 2012 interview with the PA news agency: "We drank some very good red wine and we finished with a couple of brandies. We talked about love, life, weight loss, hair loss – I'm very fond of John." John Torode received an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours in 2022 for his contributions to food and charity, on which he commented: "I feel very privileged, it's a real honour and I feel great about it." Before misconduct allegations against Wallace came to light, the pair marked MasterChef's 20th anniversary with a bash at Fishmongers' Hall in London, hosting over 70 guests with ties to the series. However, as accusations arose, Torode reassured fans in December that he would stay with MasterChef, expressing his attachment to the show by saying he "loves being part of" it. Later, on a Monday, Torode acknowledged the validity of one isolated instance of racial insensitivity found in an investigation that confirmed 45 out of 83 complaints against Wallace throughout his tenure on the show. Torode addressed his forgetfulness about the perturbing claim on Instagram, stating that he had "no recollection of the incident" and was "shocked and saddened". Following this revelation, both MasterChef producer Banijay UK and the BBC made the decision that Torode's contract would not be extended. A Banijay spokesperson declared: "In response to John Torode's statement, it is important to stress that Banijay UK takes this matter incredibly seriously. "The legal team at Lewis Silkin that investigated the allegations relating to Gregg Wallace also substantiated an accusation of highly offensive racist language against John Torode which occurred in 2018. "This matter has been formally discussed with John Torode by Banijay UK, and whilst we note that John says he does not recall the incident, Lewis Silkin have upheld the very serious complaint. Banijay UK and the BBC are agreed that we will not renew his contract on MasterChef." In addition to his television appearances, Torode is an acclaimed author with cookbooks such as Sydney To Seoul, My Kind Of Food and John And Lisa's Kitchen, co-written with his wife Lisa Faulkner. He also used to own popular London dining spots The Luxe and Smiths Of Smithfield. Torode shares four children with his spouse, actress and fellow culinary connoisseur Faulkner, whom he wed in 2019 following her Celebrity MasterChef triumph.
