ITV Coronation Street Chris Fountain supported as he shares emotional update after stroke

Chris Fountain was supported by his former Coronation Street co-stars as he shared his incredible achievement.

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 last year and spent five days in a London hospital. Chris has since dedicated himself to raising awareness of the condition and trained for the London Marathon to raise money for the Stroke Association.
