Reality television personality Bobby Norris has caused significant concern among his followers after posting a picture of himself being transported to hospital in an ambulance. The Only Way Is Essex star shared the worrying image from inside the vehicle on Tuesday, showing him strapped to a stretcher.
A Cryptic Social Media Post
The 38-year-old did not provide any context for the hospital dash, leaving fans to speculate about his condition. In the Instagram story, Norris was visible wearing tracksuit bottoms and white trainers. As of now, he has not shared a subsequent update to clarify what happened or how he is currently feeling. This alarming incident comes just months after the TV star was hospitalised for a separate, serious health issue.
History of Health Struggles
This is not the first health scare for Bobby Norris this year. Back in March, he underwent surgery after discovering a lump on his testicle seven months prior. From his hospital bed at the time, he posted updates, including a photo of himself smiling in a hospital gown and celebrating a simple post-surgery meal. "Never has a ham sandwich and a pot of tea tasted so good!!!" he wrote, adding, "It’s important to remember that it is the little things in life that matter the most.. ❤️"
When he initially revealed the need for surgery, he was candid about the situation, stating it was "not great." He used his platform to issue a vital plea to his audience, particularly men, emphasising the importance of regular self-checks. "Don't be embarrassed," he urged. "Especially men, we feel embarrassed to go to a hospital and drop our Calvins for a doctor. Don't." He stressed that early detection is crucial and advised anyone finding anything unusual to see a doctor immediately.
Overcoming Adversity
Norris's recent hospital visit follows an emotionally charged period where he opened up about being a victim of a homophobic attack. He recounted a distressing incident at Stratford tube station in January where a passerby shouted homophobic slurs at him. In a separate, more violent attack in the last couple of years, which he described as "gay bashing," his veneers were knocked out and he required hospital treatment. Although he deals with such events with humour, he confirmed, "It wasn't funny when I was in a hospital."
The public now awaits further news on the TV star's condition, hoping for a positive update following his latest health emergency.
