Food Network star Adam Richman sparks concern as he thanks fans ahead of 'surgery number two'
Adam Richman has worried fans as he emotionally addressed them ahead of undergoing a mystery surgery. In an Instagram post, the 51-year-old TV host wrote: 'Hello beautiful people. Don't want to scare anyone like last time, so just want to be ultra clear. 'Today is surgery number two. And because nobody knows the future, I just wanted to once again tell all those who have been so kind and supportive of me and the shows I make and have made, I am forever grateful and love you all so much. If I'm granted the opportunity to come out of this, I promise I'll continue to work my tail off to give you my all.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Referencing his favorite soccer team Tottenham Hotspur, he added: 'Blessed to live the life I have and yes, blessed to live long enough to see my beloved @spursofficial lift a European Trophy. 'If ya have second, lift your boy up in your prayers. See ya on the other side.' Adam spent four years hosting Man v Food, taking on extreme eating challenges, before quitting the show in 2012. Concerned about his health he embarked on a healthy eating plan and exercise regime, and quickly managed to lose 70lb. At the time, Adam said the tipping point came when he caught sight of himself in the mirror one day and his body appeared to be 'the size of a Smart car'. Back in 2022, Adam revealed that he contracted an MRSA infection from a mustache follicle - and that he almost died from the bug. In a podcast interview with Celebrity Catch Up: Life After That Thing I Did, he said that he noticed there was something wrong at a Michelin event in Zurich in 2018. Adam explained: 'One of my mustache follicles just looked like a pimple and it was just not healing well. 'I'd gone to a doctor and then eventually my lip inflated like a banana - it was grotesque. I remember I went to tear a piece of medical tape and I couldn't get to my teeth.' Adam added: 'I found out from maxillofacial surgeons that the area from the inside of your eyes to the outer corner of your lips, they call it the "danger triangle" because there's multiple opportunities for a surface infection to go intracranial.' It's still not known how the food lover caught the infection, but he said: 'The doctor said it could have been anything from a water glass to a hotel towel, shaking someone's hand and then invariably [touching my face]. There's any number of ways. 'At the moment, it never felt like "you're going to die" - it was never something that they posited, but it was always sort of understood. I think they didn't want to freak me out.' The star said the incident made him confront his own mortality and gave him a guiding principle: 'Gratitude is the attitude because fate, God, disease, the higher power of your choice can take it away just like that. Every day above ground is a gift.' His latest surgery is not thought to be related to the incident.

Food Network legend sparks concern as he emotionally thanks fans ahead of mystery surgery
Food Network legend Adam Richman has sparked concern as he emotionally thanked fans ahead of mystery surgery. The TV host, 51, took to Instagram earlier today with a heartfelt post that read: 'Hello beautiful people. Don't want to scare anyone like last time, so just want to be ultra clear.

Adam spent four years hosting Man v Food - taking on extreme eating challenges, from slurping down two-gallon sundaes to devouring 190-pound burgers. But the Brooklyn native quit the show in 2012. Concerned about his health and non-existent love life, he retired from the program, embarked on a healthy eating plan and exercise regime, and quickly managed to lose 70lbs off his six-foot frame.
