Lisa Snowdon has admitted that she is 'still suffering' after contracting viral meningitis years ago, which left her hospitalised for two weeks.

The 52 year old This Morning star took to Instagram to share a video as she supported the Viral Meningitis Awareness week, whilst candidly opening up on her own experience with the serious illness.

Looking fabulous in a red and black printed dress, and with her long dark hair worn straight and glossy with dewy makeup she explained: "As someone who has had viral meningitis, I know only too well how those symptoms can stay with you, and how frustrating it can be." In her lengthy caption, she spoke about the work done by Meningitis Now's awareness campaign, as she explained that she "suffered headaches, memory loss, and depression for years" after contracting the illness.

She wrote: "People are often told they will feel better in a couple of weeks, but for many recovery takes a lot longer and many experience after-effects including fatigue, memory issues and anxiety. "My symptoms took much longer to go away, I suffered headaches, memory loss, and depression for years after- still to this day I suffer with headaches and when I get run down or ill it’s my head that still causes me a lot of pain.. "It’s my area of weakness after being very poorly with viral meningitis for over 3 weeks and not getting help till it was almost too late and I was hospitalised for 2 weeks." Lisa's followers rushed to offer their supports in the comments, with one writing: "Thank you Lisa for sharing!

Gabby Logan's tears over husband's cancer battle as she guest hosts Pointless
Gabby and her husband, former rugby player Kenny Logan, went through an emotional whirlwind after Kenny's shocking prostate cancer diagnosis.The heartfelt revelation, made by the beloved BBC Sports presenter on Steven Bartlett's The Diary of a CEO podcast in 2022, saw Gabby share: "He [Kenny] was really upset as you can imagine and I just thought, 'Right no, this is going to be absolutely fine, what are we going to do? What are the answers here?'" Gabby, who appears on Pointless on Friday, 17 May, further explained how their neurologist proved to be an amazing source of guidance, she said: "His neurologist was brilliant, he's a brilliant communicator and told us what the options were and I was like, (to Kenny) 'We've just to get a plan together, you need to know what you're doing and then we will keep being positive about it.'" Once they had adjusted to the initial shock, they treated the ordeal as a project: "That's what we did really, once we got over the initial shock, we just really kind of focused on it as a project we had to deal with and it's a b****y awful operation." Despite the gut-wrenching diagnosis, Gabby showed remarkable resilience, revealing that deep down, she was certain she "wasn't going to lose her husband, who is also the father of her two children. As she shared stories about how this formidable challenge had actually strengthened their bond, with Kenny proving to be an incredible "rock" throughout the journey, the normally composed sportscaster was moved to tears.
