Big Brother star Henry Southan posted from a hospital bed as he told fans he was ‘gutted’ to be missing Slow Horses premiere.

The reality star, 27, shared a selfie of himself hooked up to an IV drip earlier on Wednesday to his 193k followers.

He went with the caption: ‘Hasn’t been the most ideal 24 hours!

‘Getting much-needed rest – gutted to be missing the Slow Horses premiere tonight, but rest comes first.’ The food critic hasn’t returned to social media after sharing the post, nor further details about what happened.

The Big Brother finalist ultimately finished in third place on the 2023 series.

He broke up with his boyfriend Jordan Sangha earlier this year after 17 months together. The pair first met on the ITV show and cultivated a large fanbase of people who loved the couple.

‘After a lot of thought, Jordan and I have decided to go our separate ways. It’s incredibly sad, and we’re both hurting, but we know it’s the right step.

‘We’re so grateful for the love and support you’ve shown us – thank you. Please give us some space as we figure things out privately.’

Jordan, who won the season, added: ‘After many happy times, memories, and precious experiences, Henry and I have parted ways.

‘I want to thank everyone who has supported us. We will always remain close friends. Cheers x’

The split came as a shock to fans, with the duo working on several projects together at the time that they parted ways in April, including a podcast, Club Sandwich, which ended at the same time.

Last week, Jordan took to Instagram in a rare comment addressing the ongoing speculation over their breakup.

He wrote: ‘I am tired of being blamed for the breakup. I know what happened and I continue to know what’s happening. That’s all,’ he said per The Mirror.

Big Brother is set to return imminently, with co-hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcoming a new cohort of contestants under one roof at the end of September.

The launch of ITV’s third season of the reboot comes alongside several other reality shows, such as The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing, making it a jampacked autumn.

It’s rumoured that, following the success of live introductions for the celebrity version, they’ll be sticking with this format for the normal season.

A source told The Sun: ‘ITV brought back the live element for the celebrity version last autumn … it did bring back the important sense that anything could happen, and it would all be caught on camera.’

‘That’s even more exciting given the fact that this is not the celebrity version, so we really have no idea what kind of characters are going to emerge from the limousines and go into the house.’
