Ryan Thomas shares message he sent to ex Corrie star pal Chris Fountain as he discusses mini stroke at 35 on ITV This Morning
Ryan Thomas has shared the supportive message he sent to his friend and former Coronation Street star Chris Fountain after he spoke out about suffering a mini stroke. The actor, who played Tommy Duckworth in the ITV soap, revealed he spent five days in a London hospital after waking up at home unable to speak properly in August.
Chris, who appeared in Corrie from 2011 up until being axed in 2013, said he had broken down in tears when doctors informed him he had had a TIA, and only called 111 after waking up to a phone call from his mum and being left unable to get my words out. After speaking out about his health issues, Ryan, who is known for playing Jason Grimshaw in the ITV soap, took to Instagram to show Chris his support. He put up an Instagram story with a grab of a message he sent to his friend, who supported him during a charity challenge last year which saw him walk 10 marathons in 10 days.
"Whatever life throws at this guy he keeps bouncing back," Ryan typed. "Beyond proud of you my brother," he added, tagging Chris and adding a red love heart.
