TV presenter Matt Richardson said he was admitted to the hospital after suffering from memory loss.
The 31-year-old, who competed on Dancing On Ice last year, shared a photo of himself at a Green Day concert in Marlay Park, Dublin, last week alongside his brother.
However, he said he was unable to remember the gig after developing “loads of amnesia” because of an unspecified infection.
In a post on Instagram he wrote: “My brother and I went to see Green Day in Dublin last week.
“And I sadly can’t remember it as I’ve had a lovely infection which caused some wonderful affects to my brain and loads of amnesia.
“After a really cool trip to hospital I’m trying to piece it all together again.
“Hopefully the memories come back but if I owe you money, sorry you’re on your own.”
His post prompted concerned friends to send messages of support.
Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore commented, “Hope you’re ok!!!” while stand-up comedian Lauren Pattison added: “Get well soon champ”.
Richardson presented ITV2 spin-off show The Xtra Factor alongside the late Caroline Flack in 2013.
He has since served as a drive-time presenter on Virgin Radio UK and co-presented Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live and Celebrity Haunted Mansion with Christine Lampard.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
