Former Coronation Street actor Chris Fountain appeared on ITV's This Morning today 11 October to discuss the details of a terrifying mini-stroke he suffered earlier this year which left him "speaking like a toddler". Talking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Chris, 35, described the moment of the harrowing ordeal as he said: "Something wasn't quite right.The weirdest thing was my inside voice was perfect.
But I was looking at a towel and I couldn't say the word for it." He continued: "I picked up a book and tried to read the back of it but it wasn't working. I called the ambulance but struggled to give my address." Chris added: "I was embarrassed and in panic and scared because I couldn't articulate myself, it was really strange.
As soon as the doctor said 'stroke' my brain was just swamped so I didn't even take it in. It was like someone pulled the rug from underneath me." Holly interjected: "You've been doing lots of therapy with your speech and you've got about 90 per cent of it back, so you're doing really well." Phillip agreed: "You wouldn't know".
Chris added: "Those first few days out of hospital, I was stumbling over my words and it became really frustrating as I knew what I was trying to say." The star previously shared he will have to undergo heart surgery following the mini stroke which left him struggling with his speech. The actor who played characters on Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, worried that "life as he knew it was over" after doctors discovered a blood clot lodged in his brain had caused a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) – known as a mini stroke.
