Marlon falls at his stag do

Tonight (Wednesday August 10) saw Marlon attend a last minute stag do at home that his closest friends and family put together.

After building up the strength the past few weeks to stand, something he has been working on since his stroke, Marlon attempted to get to his feet.

Trying to stand up, his feet gave way and caused him to fall.

Paddy erred on the side of caution and advised his best friend to get checked out at the hospital.

Marlon was reluctant, but Paddy insisted he may have had another stroke.

The chef agreed as long as there was no ambulance.

The fall was also to be kept a secret from Rhona as to not spoil her wedding day tomorrow.

What happened to Marlon at the hospital?

After checking in at the hospital, Marlon’s chances of a perfect wedding day are not looking too good.

The doctor told him that he must stay overnight, much to his upset.

“The results of the scan show you haven’t had a second stroke,” the doctor told him. But then she dropped the bombshell he couldn’t go home.

“While you haven’t had a second stroke, the results indicated your blood pressure is currently sky high, so we’re going to keep you in overnight just to monitor things.”

Even though Paddy explained the wedding is tomorrow, the doctor was determined and advised that they cancel the big day.

“It’s in your best interests to keep you under observation for now, we can’t risk you having another stroke.”

Marlon looked at Paddy pleadingly, but he firmly told him: “You heard what she said.

“If you leave you’re running a massive risk. It might not be your wedding day, it’ll be your funeral.”
