Wayne Lineker has shared a worrying update on his health from hospital as he continues to recover from a life-threatening illness that almost killed him.
The Ibiza club owner and reality TV star has revealed he could be forced to spend this Christmas alone if his condition doesn’t improve at all.
The 63-year-old was rushed to hospital earlier this month and was later given careful treatment.
Doctors diagnosed him with extremely dangerous pneumonia, an infection that left him unable to walk and had difficulty breathing.
From his hospital bed, Wayne told fans he was still undergoing treatment and could now undergo major surgery.
“I know I sound a little harsh,” he said, before adding: “But I’ve been through a lot these last few days.”
He also explained that parts of his lungs are not clearing properly despite medication.
“Parts of my lungs weren’t clearing phlegm and were very stubborn,” Wayne said.
However, doctors asked him to do breathing exercises daily, if not hourly, and to stay active in his room.
Wayne said he was currently taking strong antibiotics, but warned the operation could take place soon if there was no such improvement.
“It’s a keyhole surgery, and then they’ll come in and do what’s called a wash, and wash out my lungs and hopefully that’ll be the end of it,” he explained.
“It will be a question of whether I make it home for Christmas,” Wayne added. “Here’s your update. Thanks guys.”
