Gavin and Stacey star 'dying' as he shares terrifying symptoms
Gavin and Stacey actor Larry Lamb, 77, has spoken about a terrifying illness he contracted after a trip to Senegal, which left him feeling like he was dying and resulted in permanent hearing loss.
Larry, who is known for his robust health, had travelled to Senegal to raise awareness about poverty-stricken children. However, upon his return, he developed a severe fever that lasted for months and eventually affected his ears, causing complete deafness in one ear.
Recalling his ordeal, Larry said: "It's been catastrophic. I'm famous for never being ill. But I went into complete physical meltdown.
At one point I felt like I was dying. But the real shock was when I realised I couldn't hear properly." The cause of the infection and subsequent hearing loss is suspected to be malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that can cause fever, fatigue, and headaches.
