Pro, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, told his fans that he hasn’t eaten food in ten days.

“Why do I look so happy? I haven’t eaten since last Monday. I had a bad night so was back to nil by mouth… until they gave me a tube in my nose to feed me through 🙌”, he posted.

The poorly star has been keeping his 737,000 Instagram followers updated on his health, and making light of his illness, but admitted to suffering with anxiety as well as immense pain.

Posting details of his rare infection, he said: “Turns out I’m only the second person in the world to have an allergic reaction to the mesh used to fix my hernia.”

The 33-year-old said that he didn’t want to worry anybody, especially his grandma.

He added: “I came back to hospital with pneumonia, a partially collapsed lung, distension, fluid build up and ileus (my guts had shut down).

“I’m getting better. Everything is starting to work again, all my bloods are looking better and I finally got some sleep last night.”

“If I seemed a bit emotional at times it’s been because I’ve been awake most hours of each day and it becomes quite a lot like torture when you have your entire life taken away from you and you’re stuck in a room in the most uncomfortable and painful situation you’ve ever been in.”

On Tuesday, he also praised his girlfriend for being a great support to him, and said that she has saved him from dark times.

Uploading a snap of other half, Fae Williams, with her baby pink hair over her face, Pro wrote: “The respect I have for this lady is unparalleled. All jokes aside I’m having the worst time of my life and she’s doing all she can to stop me disappearing into a deep and very dark depression. Thank you ❤”.
