Reality star-turned-talent manager Liam Brown has revealed he suffered a terrifying health scare which left him paralysed and unable to talk.
Liam, who starred on Netflix 's Snowflake Mountain in 2022 before working for InTheStyle, shared the shock news on his Instagram Story on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old said he suffered a terrifying turn in the middle of the night which left him paralysed for 30 minutes, unable to move and talk.
He recovered soon after and carried on as normal, however it happened again the following day and he was taken to hospital.
Liam revealed he was put on medication before undergoing an MRI, after doctors suspected he had suffered a Transient Ischemic Attack - often referred to as a mini stroke - where there is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain.

In an update on Wednesday, Liam said he had been discharged to recover at home but shared that doctors were still not convinced as to the cause of his illness.
'Just a very sad update from me,' he wrote. 'Really scary situation but I am currently in hospital so for anyone trying to contact me sorry I haven't got back to you!
'Unfortunately, a few nights ago, I suffered a really scary turn in the middle of the night, essentially I was paralysed for 30 minutes and couldn't move or talk. I came out of it and ignored it but my speech didn't fully return properly and then it happened again yesterday.
'I was taken into hospital and I'm being treated for a mini stroke also known as a Transient Ischemic Attack as I can't feel the right side of my face. But right now, they're not 100 per cent what caused this to happen, I'm undergoing so many tests, blood tests and scans to either try and find a blood clot or what caused this to happen. Will keep everyone updated!'
Returning to Instagram the following day, Liam said on Wednesday: 'Just wanted to share an update with you guys, I am finally back home and I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and messages, it's meant the world. I am trying to get to as many as possible.
'I had the MRI today which didn't show any active stroke, which is a huge relief, but it's also left things a bit uncertain.
'The consultant said it's possible that either there never was a stroke or that the clot had already disbursed as I have been on stroke medication in hospital for several days before the scan, which essentially gets rid of the blood clot.
'Waiting that long for an MRI, especially after being admitted as a red priority stroke, was not ideal as it's highly unlikely I will ever know it was or not but I know the NHS is doing it can under immense pressure and I'm grateful to every person who looked after me.
'Right now, I'm focusing on rest and taking things slow while I go through more tests to figure out exactly what happened.
'Just a very sad update from me,' he wrote. 'Really scary situation but I am currently in hospital so for anyone trying to contact me sorry I haven't got back to you!'
Liam - who has been on weight loss jab Mounjaro for a year - later shared another post saying he had received cruel messages from people blaming his decision to use the injection for his falling ill
'It's been scary time especially worrying about if it will happen again. The only peace is that I am staying on the medication for 4 weeks in case it does happen. I'm feeling hopeful. Thank you again for your love!'
In another post he added: 'In terms of how I feel within myself, I feel ok.
'I am still tripping on certain words or sentences so I definitely know there is some speech issue going on but apart from that I'm slowly returning to normal after an awful situation.'
Liam - who has been on weight loss jab Mounjaro for a year - later shared another post saying he had received cruel messages from people blaming his decision to use the injection for his falling ill.
He said: 'Just something to address... comments like "That's what you get for taking the fat jab" in my inbox is not helpful at all, and is OBVIOUSLY something that has crossed my mind.
'I did tell the 5 consultants I seen that I was on Mounjaro and never once did they seem or say they were concerned this could be the issue so please take your helpful messages out of my way!'
Liam was hired by former owner Adam Frisby as an assistant at InTheStyle shortly after his Netflix reality TV stint and eventually was promoted to manager.
However in December Liam left the company and went on to found his company Rede Talent, an agency for influencers.
Liam rose to fame in 2022 on Netflix's Snowflake Mountain, where contestants applied for the show thinking it would be similar to Geordie Shore, and perhaps set in a villa, but their families knew the pampered contestants would be facing a tougher challenge.
Instead they were dumped in the wilds of the Lake District, and had most of their luggage blown up, left with just a small bag of essentials, and given a series of tough tasks.
All of the show's ten 20-somethings contestants were involved because their own parents consider them 'snowflakes' — work-shy, over-sensitive, lacking in discipline, overly-dependent on their parents, unable to find the sink to wash a plate, never mind look after themselves.
And this was something Liam later discovered, laughingly telling This Morning at the time: '[The show makers] had actually like organised it with [his guardian] behind the scenes, and it turns out that she agreed to sign me up to this horrific experience.'
He added: 'When we first got there, we were all traumatised. You know, you look at yourself [thinking] "why am I here?".
'And then you have a breakdown. It's like a midlife crisis. And you realise why you're there and then you just get on with it.'
