Wayne Lineker breaks silence from hospital bed ahead of lonely Christmas
Wayne Lineker shared a worrying health update from hospital as he continued to recover from a life threatening illness that almost killed him.
The Ibiza club owner and reality TV star revealed that he could be forced to spend this Christmas alone if his condition does not improve at all.
The 63 year old was rushed to the 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 struggle to breathe.
From his hospital bed, Wayne told fans that he is still undergoing treatment and might now go for a major surgery.
“I know I look a bit rough,” he said, before adding, “But, I’ve been through a lot this past couple of days.”
He also explained that parts of his lungs are not clearing properly despite medication.
“Parts of my lungs, weren’t clearing of the phlegm, and were very stubborn,” Wayne shared.
However, doctors asked him to do breathing exercises daily, well hourly, and to stay active around his room.
Wayne said he is currently on strong antibiotics but warned the surgery could happen soon if there is no such improvement.
“It’s a keyhole surgery and then they’ll go in and do what’s called a washout, and wash my lungs out and hopefully that will be the end of it,” he explained.
“It will be touch and go whether I’ll be going home for Christmas,” Wayne added. “There’s your update. Thanks guys.”

‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in chaos as Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman exit
Strictly Come Dancing is facing a big shake-up after beloved hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped away from the show.
With the programme looking for fresh energy, reports say that comedian and actress Miranda Hart is in talks to join.
Fans might remember Miranda from her hit sitcom and from cheering on her friend Sarah Hadland during last year’s series.
Sources, however, said that she could bring her funny, warm personality to the show, talking to the celebs, dancers and judges, helping to keep the programme lively and entertaining.
Even though Miranda spent recent years enjoying a quieter life away from the spotlight, she has never lost her connection to television.
BBC bosses apparently see her humour as a perfect fit for the role, bringing the kind of lightness and charm that viewers loved in the past.
While nothing is confirmed yet, insiders are excited about the possibility.
If it happens, it could mark a new chapter for Strictly Come Dancing, mixing familiar comedy with the glitz and glamour of the dance floor.
Fans are waiting to see if Miranda’s easygoing style will breathe new life into the show.

Trevor Oakes of ‘Showaddywaddy’ dies aged 79, know the reason here
Trevor Oakes, guitarist who helped make Showaddywaddy famous all over the world, has died at the age of 79 after fighting bravely with a long illness.
The icon passed away peacefully on February 18, leaving all of his fans and friends heartbroken.
Trevor’s former bandmate Dave Bartram paid a touching tribute for him, calling him “a unique character and a dedicated professional” who played a huge part in the band’s success.
Trevor was there from the very start, helping the band bring back songs from the 1950s and 1960s for a new generation.
Showaddywaddy, however, then got Top 10 hits, including the number one song Under the Moon of Love in 1976.
Dave remembered him as not just a talented musician but also a loving family man with a cheeky sense of humour, saying that he will be “sadly missed by all those dear to him.”
Though Trevor stepped away from performing in 2009 due to health problems, his spirit and influence stayed with the band, which continues to tour today under Dave’s management.
Only one original member remains on stage but Trevor’s energy and love for music live on in every show.
Fans, moreover, will always remember him for the joy, laughter and music he shared over years.
