ALEX Reid’s management have shared a concerning update on the star after he was rushed to hospital with a suspected bleed on the brain.
The ex of Katie Price was taken to hospital yesterday after developing worrying symptoms including being “punch drunk” and unsteady on his feet.
He revealed he was undergoing a barrage of tests.
And now his management have shared an update.
Posting to his Instagram page, they said: “This is Alex’s management providing an update following yesterday’s press coverage.
“We have seen Alex today and wanted to share that he is still not fully stable on his feet.
“Doctors remain concerned about his balance and mobility, and he is now awaiting another brain scan as part of ongoing investigations.
“We appreciate the huge amount of support and messages that have come in over the last 24 hours.
“Alex is in good spirits, but this stage is about monitoring him closely and making sure he gets the right care and answers.
“Further updates will be shared when appropriate. Thank you for your continued support. Management.”
Yesterday Alex revealed that he was undergoing tests – but that brain tumours had been ruled out.
He said: “I’ve been in hospital since 9am this morning. I’ve already had a CT scan, and I’m now waiting for an MRI to check if there’s a bleed on the posterior part of my brain.
‘I honestly can’t believe how I’ve been walking lately — so ‘punch drunk’ that people keep assuming I’m drunk when I’m out. I’m not.
“This is just how my body moves these days, and it’s a horrible feeling not knowing why. The pain, the imbalance, the uncertainty… it’s all become really hard to live with.”
He added: “This isn’t a negative post about martial arts, fighting, or ‘don’t do combat sports.’ I love this sport. It’s my life.
“But after around 300 fights, years of martial arts training, and being hit more times than I can count — plus my cauliflower ears to prove it — I want young lads coming up in the sport to start training smarter. Wear your headgear. Look after yourselves. Think long-term, not just about the next fight.
“Thank God the scans so far have shown no tumours. My dad passed away at 77 from a brain tumour, so hearing that today was a massive relief.
“Now we’re just waiting to see if there’s any bleed or any signs of brain damage that might explain what’s been happening with my walking and balance.
“This is me being honest, raising awareness, and letting people know what really goes on behind closed doors. Combat sports are incredible — but your health is everything.”
