Jordan Brook Gives First TV Interview After 22-Day Meningitis Hospital Stay

He used the appearance to stress a viral diagnosis unrelated to the Kent outbreak.

Overview

  • Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the Towie star said he is home and still recovering after 22 days in hospital.
  • He recalled being sent home at first when paramedics called his crushing headache a migraine, only for his condition to worsen and require an emergency return to hospital.
  • After initial scans came back clear, doctors performed a lumbar puncture and a CT scan that confirmed meningitis.
  • Brook said he was unable to speak for a period and that clinicians walked him through worst-case risks, including that they could not rule out brain cancer at the time.
  • He and partner Sophie Kasaei said doctors later confirmed a viral infection and stressed it was not connected to recent cases in Kent.
