Around 90,000 people survive a stroke every year in the UK – a stark reality that Donald Glover has now also faced. The American performer, famously known as Childish Gambino, has revealed he suffered a major health scare in 2024, which forced him to cancel the remainder of his tour.

While the 42 year old began feeling ill during a gig in New Orleans, Louisiana, last year, he continued performing and decided to head to the hospital afterwards. Here, doctors diagnosed him with a stroke, according to reports.

At the Los Angeles Camp Flog Gnaw Festival, Glover said, “I had a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana, but I did the show anyway.” I had a stroke, and the doctor said, “You had a stroke, so we went to Houston,” so I went to the hospital. And I was like, “Oh, I am still copying Jamie Foxx,” as I first thought.

They discovered a hole in my heart,” he later said. So I had this surgery, and then I had another surgery. […] They say that everyone lives in pairs, and that the second life begins with the realization of this fact.

A stroke typically occurs when the blood flow stops, affecting movements and speech. Because they can have serious or even fatal consequences, sticks are medical emergencies that call for immediate medical attention.

While Glover did not reveal the cause of the hole in his heart or the specific type of stroke he experienced, it is important to be aware of two main stroke types. The first type, known as an ischaemic stroke, accounts for approximately 85% of all stroke cases, according to the Stroke Association.

These occur when a blockage completely stops the blood supply to the brain, causing damage to brain cells and frequently causing various distressing symptoms. Depending on which area of the brain is affected, specific symptoms may include speech difficulties, paralysis on one side of the face or body, and loss or loss of senses all in one case.

Meanwhile, a further 15% of strokes are caused by bleeding within or around the brain, known as haemorrhagic strokes. Although symptoms are very similar to ischaemic incidents, patients are more likely to experience very sudden or severe headaches.

These are often called ‘thunderclap headaches’, which patients frequently describe as the worst pain they have ever felt, similar to being struck on the head. Official advice from the Stroke Association adds: “Many people think that strokes only happen to older people, but stroke can strike anyone, at any time.

“It’s vital to know how to spot the signs of a stroke in yourself or someone else. Use the FAST test to help you recognise the signs. While most people who have a stroke are older, younger people can have strokes too, including children. One in four strokes in the UK happens to people of working age.”

The three most prevalent stroke signs, as well as:: Face, Arms, Speech, and Time, were quickly identified by the FAST test, which stands for Face, Arms, Speech, and Time:

Can someone smile when they have a facial flaw? Have they squirted in their eyes or mouths?
• Arm flexibility: Is it possible to raise both arms simultaneously and maintain a position?
• Can someone understand and speak clearly when you say something? Is their language slurred?
• If you notice any of these signs, call 999 immediately.

Although the symptoms of a stroke can quickly fade, the victim is not necessarily safe. In fact, these flimsy symptoms could indicate a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also known as a “mini stroke,” which could give rise to a serious stroke that might occur soon.

Guidance from the NHS adds: “Do not drive yourself to A&E. The person you speak to at 999 will give you advice about what to do.”

Other symptoms can appear. The NHS says these can include:

• confusion and memory loss
• finding it challenging to speak or think in words
• down one side of your body and weakness or numbness
• (Nausea or vomiting) feeling or being sick
• a severe headache
• experiencing a haze or falling over
• One or both eyes experience blurred vision or sight loss.

I’m a Celeb fans have hit out at mischievous Geordie show hosts Ant and Dec for one thing they did during YouTube Angry Ginge’s gruesome Bushtucker Trial on Sunday night’s episode.

Ginge was chosen to take part in the Terror Flying Tours trial, and had to stick his head into various different ominous boxes in order to win stars for camp – joined, as is now tradition, by a few rather scary companions.

Fans who were watching from home, however, could not resist noticing that the pair were making the star laugh as he attempted to remove a star from a metal screw with just his tongue.

In the first box, Ginge attempted to remove the stars from a lizard-filled box, as cheeky as Ant’s cheeky comment, “Tongue gets very dry doesn’t it? ” Ginge giggled as he distancingly said, “Shut up, but it was a little dry, we had to lubricate it.”

With only ten seconds left to complete the challenge, Ant remarked, “This is going to be a great meme.” However, Ginge completely lost his composure as he laughed aloud and failed to capture the star before time ran out.

And the hosts’ interference didnt go unnoticed. ON X, one viewer slammed, “Can’t lie it bugged me how much Ant and Dec were talking during Ginge’s trial #ImACeleb.”

Another criticized Ant and Dec for being quiet while Ginge is conducting the trial because they are offending him and laughing at things that aren’t funny and also didn’t see the funny side! I didn’t watch much of this series, but that made me turn off! #ImACeleb”.

Another fan said, “I feel like Ginge’s demise was largely due to Ant and Dec. #ImACeleb.” Another slur: “Let Angry Ginge concentrate on #ImACeleb, stop talking Ant and Dec.” Fifth added, “I wish Ant and Dec hadn’t distracted Ginge there. If they hadn’t made him laugh, he might have received that second star.”

However, Ginge eventually won back by calling Ant “d***head*” after the pair laughed at him, and the audience adored his mannerism. “Love Ginge #ImACeleb,” one user said. Only he could pass for “comedy gold” by calling Ant a d******d. Another continued, “It’s nice to see Ginge return to Ant and Dec #ImACeleb.”

The 24-year-old’s trial was not a complete failure, as the Salford-based You Tube sensation walked away with ten out of a possible twelve stars despite Ant & Dec’s poor efforts.

Meanwhile, a source has claimed to the Mirror that the Salford-born star, 24, who has already proved uber-popular with viewers back home, is set to be inundated with offers when he leaves the jungle.

They asserted that “Brands have quickly discovered that he’s not just a viral creator, he’s genuinely relatable, he speaks the language of real people, and he connects with an audience that many large corporations have struggled to reach.”

Angry Ginge’s “authenticity,” as he was raised in a council flat with his mother and sister, is said to be one of his star qualities that is reportedly piqued particular interest.

The “killer” was Sarah Cox, who has raised more than £11 million for Children in Need, who has opened up about the effects of her 135-mile journey.

Sara Cox has confessed that she hasn’t been “sleeping well” after completing her arduous five-day run for Children in Need. Sara, the host of BBC Radio 2’s drivetime show, recently finished a 135-mile run over five days — the equivalent of five marathons — raising more than £11 million for the charity.

She admitted that it was the “hardest thing” she’d ever done after crossing the finish line, beginning it in Kielder Forest, Northumberland, and finishing it in Pudsey, West Yorkshire, on Friday, November 14.

Since completing the distance, Sara is apparently still struggling with the after-effects as her body continues to recover from the gruelling challenge. In fact, the 50-year-old presenter was “shocked by how much it hurt”.

Sara told The Times: “Since finishing the Children in Need challenge, it’s been really tough. I am not sleeping well. I am so stiff and sore, especially my knees and shins, because they took a pounding.”

In a further admission, Sara explained how walking her dogs was a difficult task: “Normally I am so fast, but I took the dogs out this morning and I was hobbling. They were like, ‘What is wrong with you?’

She continued, “I didn’t realize I had a high pain threshold, but I was shocked by how painful it was.” They kept promising that it would be unfair. This was steep hills, not undulating. The killer was going down. Because of how agonizing each step was, I had to turn backwards.

Over the course of her journey, reportedly the longest ever undertaken by Radio 2 (co-hosts Paddy McGuinness and Vernon Kay undertook their own challenges in previous years), Sara received messages of support.

One such message, from the future king Prince William, was played by Scott Mills on his Radio 2 breakfast show. In his message, William offered his “massive congratulations”, reports The Guardian.

You’re only a little further away, he said, and I know the people of Pudsey will welcome you with big open arms, big hugs, and, hopefully, lots of your favorite crumpets.

Keep going, “You’ve done fantastically well, and the country is so proud of you.”

In the aftermath, Sara said she’d “never known pain like it”, but had also never had eye contact with “so many amazing women”, who she explained had “powered” her through the feat.

Sara traveled across four counties, including Northumberland, County Durham, North Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire, with a Pudsey Bear backpack as her starting point on November 10.

He wrote, “I’m f*cking proud of myself and I can’t wait to tell my story,” 2.5 years ago. He has since reconciled with his ex-girlfriend, who he announced in August and is now expecting his first child.

After being pictured smoking with Jackiey, Freddy’s TV presenter father, 46, raised concerns about him earlier this year. She disputes claims she “got her grandson hooked on cannabis, a Class B drug in the UK, which is not for recreational use, despite the fact that she admits to having smoked with him.”

In order to maintain a friendly relationship with his sons’ maternal grandmother, Jeff previously noted that there have been numerous “pitfalls and stumbling blocks.” In 2026, doting father Jeff is gearing up to become a grandfather.

When Freddy shared a photo of the Canary Wharf skyline, the caption reads, “I’m actually a DILF… I’m actually a DILF!!” He has since shared photos of Holly and referred to her as his “baby mother.” Freddy has since admitted that being a young father was always in his future, despite the surprise birth announcement.

Freddy also revealed that he doesn’t have a fixed address before welcoming his first child. He claimed he prefers to spend his days with his father, Jeff, and prefers to spend his time couch surfing and loving life. Freddy stated in a recent interview that “I don’t live anywhere exactly.” It’s a little challenging at times. I’m just enjoying life, couch surfing, and spending time with my friends. I adore an air-conditioned sofa.

Kerry Katona broke her silence as ex-husband, Brian McFadden’s former wife Vogue Williams made her I’m A Celeb debut last week. The former Atomic Kitten star, who opened up about her dealings with the Irish TV star as Vogue joined the I’m A Celeb camp as a latecomer along with Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson, slammed the mum-of-three in her latest column.

She recalled an awkward fleeting moment between the two women as Westlife star Brian would arrive at Kerry’s home to pick up the kids they share together – Molly, now 23, and Lily, 22. She said: “I remember her waving at me from the car when Brian picked up the kids, she never made any particular effort to come and say hi to me – which I think is important as a stepmum.”

Opening up further on their relationship when Westlife singer Brian was with Vogue – who is now married to former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, with whom she shares three children, she went on to say simply, “I never ‘officially’ met Vogue. But good luck to her.”

From September 2, 2012 until their divorce was finalized in 2017, Vogue and Brian, who wed fiancee Danielle Parker, had no children.

Kerry continued to express her disappointment with Vogue despite her strong opinions of Molly and Lily as her stepmum, and praised fellow newcomer Tom, 39, for his outward-disapproval of what the show might have to say about her ex-husband.

She talks about Brian around the campfire, but I’m not bothered because we were together twenty years ago, which is old news. Tom Read Wilson is the sweetest, kindest person I’ve ever known, and I love him.

Kerry also admitted that she believes the former model could “do well” in the face of the unknown given the challenges that confront her. She claimed she “did not know her personally.”

Kerry has previously criticized Vogue, but this is not the first time. Vogue’s comments about Brian, 45, who has a 4-year-old daughter Ruby and his wife Danielle sparked the first episode.

In 2020, Kerry defended her Irish ex in her OK! column, after Vogue raised eyebrows by confessing that her marriage to Brian made her ‘sick in my mouth’.

A clearly irate Kerry wrote in her column at the time, “I have children with the man so I’d never slam him like that,” and her comment made me feel a little depressed for my daughters [Lilly and Sue]

She continued, “She shouldn’t diss him, but I get where Vogue’s coming from: none of us are ever proud of our exes.” No one would know who she is today without Vogue having met Brian.

Meanwhile, hit podcaster Vogue, 40, has been getting her teeth into jungle life. She made her bikini debut Down Under on Friday night’s episode, revealing a ripped-six pack as she donned a pale Beach Cafe bikini as she took a dip in the creek.

And fans were swift to praise her incredible figure. One wrote, ‘Vogue Williams six pack is genuinely inspiring’, ‘Vogue williams is #fit’. But others claimed she was ‘fishing for compliments’ after admitting to comedian Ruby Wax that she felt ‘so ugly’.

However, some fans were left unimpressed and accused the star, who previously confessed that she works out five days a week, of ‘fishing for compliments’ as she admitted to Ruby Wax that she felt ‘so ugly’.

Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old son of Steve Irwin, has revealed the heartbreaking contents of a video message his father left for him before he passed away on September 4, 2006.

Robert Irwin has revealed one of the last things his late father Steve Irwin said to him in a heartbreaking new admission.

The 21-year-old Aussie — who has reached the finals of the current season of US reality show Dancing with the Stars — recently appeared on a podcast and shared a heartwrenching story from before the time his father, the beloved Crocodile Hunter, passed away in 2006.

Robert was only two when his dad, Steve, passed away while filming in the Great Barrier Reef. The famed Australian conservationist died after being pierced in the chest by a short-tail stingray barb while shooting for an underwater documentary titled ‘Ocean’s Deadliest’ at Batt Reef, off the coast of Port Douglas in Australia.

Due to the icy conditions of September 4, 2006, there was a halt to the filming of “Ocean’s Deadliest,” and Steve, 44, made the decision to use that day to shoot Bindi the Jungle Girl, his daughter. Steve’s thoracic wall and heart were punctured by the stingray’s barb, which caused a significant trauma. Crew members reportedly immediately administered CPR and transported the wildlife expert to nearby Low Island, but the injury was fatal and he was tragically declared dead.

According to reports, Steve’s death is one of the few stingray fatalities ever to occur on video, and it is also thought to be one of the few. Robert made a heart-wrenching admission while appearing on the Viall Files podcast about the contents of a video message his father left for him just before his passing.

Robert was clearly moved to tears as the young conservationist said, “For me watching that, it’s like he gave me this gift — it’s there, it’s material, it’s in writing.” I’m observing him as he watches through the camera and says, “I’m not always going to be here.”

Steve’s son revealed that Steve’s father had stated that he was “creating something that you can continue and that’s what I want you to do” and that he was “building a legacy to leave to his kids, Bindi and Robert.” He stated, “My entire goal is to leave a legacy that my children can continue.” He claimed that he and his wife, Robert, shared an emotional relationship years prior.

As they continue to actively support and support wildlife conservation efforts, something that was Steve’s life’s purpose, Robert and Bindi Irwin are both carrying on their dear father’s cherished legacy. While his sister Bindi, 27, is the CEO of Australia Zoo while Robert is currently in his 34th season of Dancing with the Stars. The husband-and-wife duo Wildlife Warriors, which Steve and Terri Irwin founded in 2002, has a lot of work to do with wildlife conservation, and both of their children are active members of the Australian Zoo.

The finale of Dancing with the Stars will take place on Tuesday, November 25, and will see five couples battling it out on the dancefloor for the ultimate trophy. Robert and his DWTS partner, Witney Carson, recently received a surprise message of support from Prince William in a pre-recorded video during a special programme celebrating the show’s 20th anniversary.
