Coronation Street's Chris Fountain said he was left "speaking like a toddler" after he suffered a mini stroke.
The soap actor is known for his role as Tommy Duckworth on the long-running ITV show. However, he feared "life as he knew it" was over when doctors discovered he’d had a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) after a blood clot lodged in his brain.
The 35-year-old suffered the mini stroke in August and spent five days in a London hospital. He has opened up on the terrifying ordeal for the first time and said he was gripped by "sheer panic" when he was unable to speak properly - as Mirror Online reports.
