Overview
- In a new Instagram video, the EastEnders actor said she now walks with a stick and can manage a limited distance before getting out of breath, including to her local Premier shop.
- A conversation with a shopper who praised her memoir prompted her to propose a film or TV version of Behind the Scenes featuring recent drama‑school graduates in all key roles.
- She suggested casting an unknown to portray her across ages and said she might appear as her mother if the project moves forward.
- Fergison first disclosed last month that she suffered a severe stroke in May, describing a sudden headache, loss of balance, and right‑side numbness before her son recognised the signs and called an ambulance.
- Doctors at a Blackpool hospital confirmed the stroke, and she has been retraining her coordination and balance after initially being unable to walk, with progress continuing since; she previously had womb‑cancer surgery in 2015.
