Overview
- This week Shaun Malone posted a close-up photo of staples and scars on his head from his hospital bed and wrote that the heatwave made being in hospital “terrible” while he expects to be discharged on Friday.
- Malone confirmed he had gone under the knife for another operation but did not provide further clinical details beyond the image and his short caption.
- His recent surgery is reported against a long-running history: in 2010 an infection that began as sinusitis spread to his brain, he spent weeks in a coma and surgeons removed part of his skull in a six-hour operation.
- The Malone family have appeared on Channel 4’s Gogglebox since 2014 and Shaun has been publicly open about his ongoing neurological effects in interviews and on podcasts.
- Fans and viewers have posted messages of support online and media coverage has focused on his recovery timeline and personal account rather than new medical information.
