Former Love Island star Chris Hughes recently shared some concerning news with his fans. The TV personality, who rose to fame on the reality show in 2017, revealed that he had been rushed back to the hospital due to a mystery illness. This comes after a health scare earlier this month, when his excessive drinking led to alcoholic hepatitis.
In an Instagram post, Chris shared photos of himself lying in a hospital bed and thanked the amazing NHS staff who took care of him. He also shared his appreciation for a friend who stayed with him for 10 hours overnight as he received treatment. Chris expressed admiration for the patience and conduct of the staff, calling them "unsung heroes."
He also joked about his friend who stayed up all night with him, saying he could count on "one and a half hands" the number of people who would do the same for him. Chris ended his post by stating that he was on the mend.
The Love Island star had previously learned his lesson after being diagnosed with alcoholic hepatitis. This condition is a stage of alcohol-related liver disease and can be caused by prolonged alcohol misuse or excessive binge drinking. Symptoms may include yellowing of the eyes and skin, swelling in the ankles and abdomen, nausea, weight loss, and confusion.
The NHS recommends getting tested for liver damage if you regularly drink alcohol to excess. While mild alcoholic hepatitis can be reversed by permanently stopping alcohol consumption, severe cases can be life-threatening.
In another post, Chris shared that he was also chronically dehydrated, which made his condition worse. He had been pushing his body through intense exercise in an attempt to sweat out the alcohol. Now, he has learned his lesson and praised the NHS for their thorough and friendly care.
Despite his situation, Chris still managed to have a sense of humor, joking about his attempts to get rid of the alcohol in his body. He also mentioned his work as a horse racing presenter and his upcoming appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.
