Wayne Lineker has shared a worrying health update from hospital as he continues to recover from a life-threatening illness that almost killed him.
The Ibiza club owner and reality TV star revealed he could be forced to spend this Christmas alone if his condition does not improve at all.
The 63-year-old was taken to hospital earlier this month and was later treated in good care.
Doctors diagnosed him with extremely dangerous pneumonia, an infection that left him unable to walk and struggling to breathe.
From his hospital bed, Wayne told fans that he is still undergoing treatment and may now need major surgery.
“I know I look a little harsh,” he said before adding, “but I’ve been through a lot these past few days.”
He also explained that parts of his lungs are not being cleaned properly despite medication.
“Parts of my lungs were not clearing the mucus and were very stubborn,” Wayne shared.
But the doctors asked him to do breathing exercises daily, well every hour, and to stay active in his room.
Wayne said he is currently on strong antibiotics, but warned that surgery could be imminent if there is no such improvement.
“It’s keyhole surgery and then they’re going to go in and do what’s called a washout and wash out my lungs and hopefully that’ll be the end of it,” he explained.
“It will be touch and go whether I go home for Christmas,” Wayne added. “There’s your update. Thanks guys.”
