Former Coronation Street actor Chris Fountain, best known for playing Tommy Duckworth, posted a series of photos and videos on his Instagram to give his fans a health update. The star is set to undergo heart surgery on Friday.
Chris, who also played Justin Burton in Hollyoaks, was supported by his mum as he documented his journey to hospital. Chris suffered a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) after a blood clot lodged in his brain and feared "life as he knew it" was over, writes The Mirror.
On Instagram he wrote: "So the day's arrived. Just walking to hospital. Got the mother here for moral support. Here we go." Chris then posted a snap of himself on a hospital bed ready for surgery before adding a video teasing his mum for being on her phone.
