Reality star reveals terrifying health scare which saw him rushed to hospital after possible stroke left him paralysed and unable to talk
Reality star-turned-talent manager Liam Brown has revealed he suffered a terrifying health scare which left him paralysed and unable to talk. Liam, who starred on Netflix 's Snowflake Mountain in 2022 before working for InTheStyle, shared the shock news on his Instagram Story on Tuesday. The 25-year-old said he suffered a terrifying turn in the middle of the night which left him paralysed for 30 minutes, unable to move and talk. He recovered soon after and carried on as normal, however it happened again the following day and he was taken to hospital. Liam revealed he was put on medication before undergoing an MRI, after doctors suspected he had suffered a Transient Ischemic Attack - often referred to as a mini stroke - where there is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In an update on Wednesday, Liam said he had been discharged to recover at home but shared that doctors were still not convinced as to the cause of his illness. 'Just a very sad update from me,' he wrote. 'Really scary situation but I am currently in hospital so for anyone trying to contact me sorry I haven't got back to you! '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. 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. Will keep everyone updated!' Returning to Instagram the following day, Liam said on Wednesday: 'Just wanted to share an update with you guys, I am finally back home and I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and messages, it's meant the world. I am trying to get to as many as possible. 'I had the MRI today which didn't show any active stroke, which is a huge relief, but it's also left things a bit uncertain. 'The consultant said it's possible that either there never was a stroke or that the clot had already disbursed as I have been on stroke medication in hospital for several days before the scan, which essentially gets rid of the blood clot. 'Waiting that long for an MRI, especially after being admitted as a red priority stroke, was not ideal as it's highly unlikely I will ever know it was or not but I know the NHS is doing it can under immense pressure and I'm grateful to every person who looked after me. 'Right now, I'm focusing on rest and taking things slow while I go through more tests to figure out exactly what happened. 'Just a very sad update from me,' he wrote. '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 has been on weight loss jab Mounjaro for a year - later shared another post saying he had received cruel messages from people blaming his decision to use the injection for his falling ill 'It's been scary time especially worrying about if it will happen again. The only peace is that I am staying on the medication for 4 weeks in case it does happen. I'm feeling hopeful. Thank you again for your love!' In another post he added: 'In terms of how I feel within myself, I feel ok. 'I am still tripping on certain words or sentences so I definitely know there is some speech issue going on but apart from that I'm slowly returning to normal after an awful situation.' Liam - who has been on weight loss jab Mounjaro for a year - later shared another post saying he had received cruel messages from people blaming his decision to use the injection for his falling ill. He said: 'Just something to address... comments like "That's what you get for taking the fat jab" in my inbox is not helpful at all, and is OBVIOUSLY something that has crossed my mind. 'I did tell the 5 consultants I seen that I was on Mounjaro and never once did they seem or say they were concerned this could be the issue so please take your helpful messages out of my way!' Liam was hired by former owner Adam Frisby as an assistant at InTheStyle shortly after his Netflix reality TV stint and eventually was promoted to manager. However in December Liam left the company and went on to found his company Rede Talent, an agency for influencers. Liam rose to fame in 2022 on Netflix's Snowflake Mountain, where contestants applied for the show thinking it would be similar to Geordie Shore, and perhaps set in a villa, but their families knew the pampered contestants would be facing a tougher challenge. Instead they were dumped in the wilds of the Lake District, and had most of their luggage blown up, left with just a small bag of essentials, and given a series of tough tasks. All of the show's ten 20-somethings contestants were involved because their own parents consider them 'snowflakes' — work-shy, over-sensitive, lacking in discipline, overly-dependent on their parents, unable to find the sink to wash a plate, never mind look after themselves. And this was something Liam later discovered, laughingly telling This Morning at the time: '[The show makers] had actually like organised it with [his guardian] behind the scenes, and it turns out that she agreed to sign me up to this horrific experience.' He added: 'When we first got there, we were all traumatised. You know, you look at yourself [thinking] "why am I here?". 'And then you have a breakdown. It's like a midlife crisis. And you realise why you're there and then you just get on with it.'

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
