Cheryl Fergison, best known for her role as Heather Trott on EastEnders, has revealed that she suffered a ‘devastating’ stroke and now relies heavily on her son for care
EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has emotionally opened up about her devastating stroke that left the world she once knew, completely “rocked” and how her son has become her carer.
The 59-year-old actress is best known for her role as lovable Heather Trott on the BBC soap, which she starred in from 2007 to 2012, and again in 2016. But away from our screens, Cheryl has battled with her health, having been diagnosed with stage two womb cancer in 2015, although she didn’t make this public until 2024.
In another worrying health scare, the soap star has emotionally revealed that she suffered a stroke, which left her “unable to walk or balance”. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror ahead of the release of her new memoir, Behind The Scenes, Cheryl said she was at home watching TV when the unimaginable happened.

“I started to feel funny, with a really bad headache at the back of my head,” the mum of one shared. “I went to bed but couldn’t settle. When I got up in the night to go to the bathroom, my balance completely went, and I had to stop myself from falling over. My whole right side felt numb, heavy and tingly.”
Fearing the worst, Cheryl, who lives in Cleveleys, Lancashire, called her son Alex. “He worked with elderly people and recognised the symptoms. He phoned an ambulance straight away.” She was rushed to a hospital in Blackpool and was told she had suffered a stroke.
The soap star was left unable to walk, with it initially taking three people to help her to the toilet. Cheryl said her stroke was “devastating” as it stopped her from travelling abroad for work and left her unable to drive.

While she is now in recovery, attending physiotherapy and using a stick, she has relied heavily on her son, Alex, who has become her carer. In an emotional chat, she told us: “My son is doing everything for me. He’s been my carer, he’s been my rock, he’s been my supporter.”
Holding back tears, she added: “He’s always there for me, I can’t. He’s always attached to me.”
Speaking further about her recovery, Cheryl shared: “I have had to retrain my brain. I couldn’t even pick up a penny at first.
“You lose the ability to coordinate your hands, to walk properly, your balance is gone. It’s frustrating and makes you angry. But I’ve started to recover; I am coming on in leaps and bounds now.”

Following her diagnosis, she admitted that the stroke has given her time to reflect, especially as she nears turning 60. “Material things don’t matter; they can be lost or broken, but memories are everything. Friends, family and laughter – that’s all that matters,” Cheryl said.
“Going into this new decade is a chance for a new me. I’m not ready to be put out to graze yet.”
Love Island star Yasmin Pettet revealed how her now-boyfriend Jamie Rhodes has been supporting her after leaving the ITV2 programme

Love Island fan-favourite Yasmin Pettet revealed she and Jamie Rhodes have not yet been intimate following their time in the Spanish villa. The ITV2 icon was heartbroken after leaving the show as her beloved cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming.
Earlier this month, she revealed: “As I’ve spoken about her on the show, I’m sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who’s been by my side for 11 years now. When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off.”
Revealing that her family chose not to tell of her of the tragedy at the time and she was informed by her sister once filming had finished, she added: “Rightfully they didn’t tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island.

“I’m trying to be as active as I can on socials, but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak., RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul.”
The star has been grieving the loss, and Jamie has been providing her with emotional support. In a new interview, Yasmin revealed there has been ‘no rush’ in their romance.
“I’ve been going through grief and Jamie will just sit there when I cry on him,” Yas said to The Sun. “I’ve taken a lot of time to process my emotions, so Jamie and I haven’t been intimate yet.”
She continued: “He’s so patient. He’s never rushed that, because he knows it will happen at the right time.”

Meanwhile, the finalists – including Yasmin, Shakira and Toni – of this series recently took a jab at ITV bosses, accusing them of portraying them as ‘villains’ throughout the series.
Love Island fans even previously criticised the editing of certain scenes, particularly during the much-anticipated Movie Night.
Speaking to The Sun’s Fabulous magazine, Shakira said: “Yeah, they’d never show the other side of things, which was frustrating. We constantly felt like villains. Every chance they got, they tried to kill us off.”
Toni chimed in: “During the first public vote, Shakira and I were both in the bottom. We spent weeks thinking that it was us against the world, because that’s how everyone in there made us feel.”
Despite this series being one of the more heated ones in recent memory, the women confessed that many of the Islanders genuinely didn’t get along ‘for weeks’.
Toni revealed: “A lot of us really just didn’t get along. For weeks and weeks, there were no solid couples, because no one could even stand to speak to each other!”

Sitting in a bustling cafe, TV favourite Cheryl Fergison carefully sips her coffee.
It’s not the heat of the drink which is making the former EastEnders star cautious but the fact she needs both hands to hold the cup – her right too unreliable on its own thanks to a stroke.
“I would say it was probably one of the lowest times in my life,” says the actress, 59, of the devastating illness which struck in May.
“One of the hardest things is to process what it does to you. One minute you’re walking, talking, going to the shops; the next your world is rocked. It’s shocking.”

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror ahead of the release of her explosive new memoir, Behind The Scenes, the mum of one – best known for her role as loveable Heather Trott in the soap – explains she was at home watching TV when she first realised something was wrong.

Cheryl, who had surgery for cancer of the womb in 2015, was rushed to hospital in Blackpool where doctors confirmed she had suffered a stroke.

The illness left her unable to walk – it initially took three people just to help her to the toilet – and she still uses a stick.
“I have had to retrain my brain. I couldn’t even pick up a penny at first,” says Cheryl, who lives in Cleveleys, Lancashire.
“You lose the ability to coordinate your hands, to walk properly, your balance is gone. It’s frustrating and makes you angry. But I’ve started to recover; I am coming on in leaps and bounds now.”

Her no holds barred memoir is shot through with that trademark fighting spirit – a spirit tested to the limit when she was left penniless, broken and in crippling debt after being scammed by her own accountant.
The actress – who just last year admitted she was forced to use food banks – says she was “gobsmacked” to discover she owed hundreds of thousands of pounds to the taxman after her accountant pocketed her cash for five years.
She learned the devastating news in 2012, at what should have been one of the happiest moments of her life.
“I’d just walked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house,” Cheryl recalls. “I was on such a high; I’d been paid £175,000. I felt excited, positive – like the future was finally opening up,” explains the star, who had married her Moroccan husband Yassine El Jamouni, who is 20 years her junior, just months earlier.

“My phone just kept pinging. Some messages were congratulations but others were from people I knew in the entertainment industry. One read, ‘We are in big trouble. Ring me. It’s about our accountant.’ That was the moment my entire world collapsed.”
The man Cheryl had trusted with her finances had seemed utterly respectable. “I thought he was looking after me,” she explains. “But he was lining his own pockets.
“For five years I paid him faithfully, and he didn’t send any money to the tax office. My savings, my security, everything was gone.”
Police launched an investigation. Cheryl was later told the fraudster had been picked up by Interpol in connection with another scam, but she never saw a penny back.
“Even though I was the victim, I still had to repay it. It’s taken me so many years to recover. I had to sell my house,” she says.
Cheryl, whose acting career has seen her perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company as well as Little Britain and Doctor Who, admits it’s sometimes been hard to battle private setbacks in the public eye.

“You’re expected to keep up appearances. Barbara Windsor told me: ‘keep putting a brave face on when you go out there, darling; give them a show, put on a smile.
“But at the same time the pressure is on. When you’re famous, people assume you’re loaded. I was paying restaurant bills I couldn’t afford just so no one knew I was struggling. But behind closed doors, I was totally skint.”
The actress has decided to tell her full story after recently being ridiculed online for selling EastEnders scripts and singing in her local Chinese restaurant to earn cash.
“Just because I am off the telly, doesn’t mean that I haven’t gone through some very hard times. I don’t let it get me down though.”
After being scammed she was diagnosed with womb cancer less than two years later and what followed was an uphill battle with her physical and mental health, including publicised issues with self harm. Cheryl also opens up about being homeless with her then toddler son back in 2002, years before fame came calling. At the time, she was trapped in a toxic marriage to her first husband, Afghan refugee Jay Saddiqi, whom she wed in May 2000.
But their relationship was volatile and they split up. Broke, she spent eight months living in a women’s shelter with her son Alex, then a baby. Life in the shelter was bleak, but Cheryl was not going to let it destroy her.
Cheryl and her mum
“In 2018, many years later. I found myself sitting on a bench in Dartford on the exact same spot I used to sit in when I was homeless but this time because I was performing in a hit musical at the theatre just a few feet away.
“I thought, ‘Wow, I have come so far.’ Life has a funny way of going full circle.”
Her book confronts deeply painful moments, including being the victim of a sexual assault as a child and her hidden battle as an adult with binge eating.
“I would eat in secret, when I was happy, as a treat, and when I was sad. It was my coping mechanism,” she admits.
But there are also many hilarious anecdotes from Cheryl’s star-studded life including how her Albert Square character’s obsession with George Michael led to a real life friendship.
Cheryl’s upcoming book shares secrets from her life
“You know that episode, where Heather and Shirely [Linda Henry] go to George Michael’s house? That was based on real life.
“Once when walking with Linda and Cliff Parisi in Highgate, they rang the bell and ran away, leaving me to chat to his housekeeper. It was so embarrassing but by the time I had got to the EastEnders set George Michael left me a voice mail. He started sending me gifts and we became mates. He was such a kind man.”
The book also allows Cheryl to set the record straight about her marriage to her much younger Moroccan husband.
“People will gossip. We’ve been through a lot, we come from different worlds. But I know the truth.”
Despite the ups and downs, Cheryl insists she has been “very blessed.”
“I’ve met so many amazing people and had some incredible highs – my life has been more of a soap opera than EastEnders.”
Now, as she approaches her big birthday, she’s optimistic about the future.

There was a loved-up display from David Beckham and Victoria Beckham whilst on a vacation abroad together recently. The couple looked cosy at a restaurant in Italy, where they were joined by three of their children for lunch.
David, 50, and Victoria, 51, have been enjoying a summer holiday on the Amalfi Coast lately. They were seen soaking up the sun onboard a yacht just a few days ago and have also been spotted at a restaurant along the coast.
Photos show them dining at Lo Scoglio with their youngest kids Romeo Beckham, 22, Cruz Beckham, 20, and Harper Beckham, 14. Romeo’s partner Jackie Apostel is said to have been with them at the al fresco restaurant too.

The photos, obtained by the Sun, show David and Victoria being affectionate towards each other whilst sat a table with their family. One photo shows with his arm around her shoulder as he seemingly plants a kiss on the side of her head.
Victoria is seen with her hand gently against his face in another, as the couple looked into each other’s eyes. Whilst one photo shows them kissing. The couple are said to have been seen laughing and joking at the restaurant too.
David is seen wearing a beige shirt with a white t-shirt underneath at the family’s table at the restaurant. His wife Victoria, who was sat beside him for the meal with their kids, is seen wearing a black outfit in the photo published today.
It’s been reported that actor Richard E. Grant came to speak to the family during the meal. He worked alongside Victoria on the film Spice World (1997), in which he played Clifford, who was the fictional manager of the Spice Girls.
Although joined by their three youngest kids on the trip, David and Victoria’s eldest child Brooklyn Beckham, 26, is thought to have been absent from the holiday. It comes amid ongoing rumours of tension between him and his parents.

Brooklyn’s family were noticeably absent from photos of his vow renewal to his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, whom he married in 2022, earlier this month. His parents and siblings were seemingly not been involved in the special occasion.
Nicola’s father Nelson Peltz, 83, appeared to officiate the ceremony, whilst other guests included her mother Claudia Peltz, 70. Amid rumours of a rift with the Beckhams, it’s been claimed that Brooklyn has grown “so close” to his in-laws.
Last week, it was reported that Brooklyn paid tribute to his wife’s family in a speech at their vow renewal. A source told the Mirror that he “spoke from the heart” in his speech and suggested that his in-laws have “really stuck by his side”.
They said: “He spoke from the heart – and at the centre of his heart is Nicola who he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognise them all, and was determined to do them all justice.”
