EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison, 59, reveals she has suffered a worrying stroke – amid financial struggles

As a wellness advocate, I found myself unexpectedly grappling with the aftermath of a concerning stroke that occurred in May. Nowadays, I find myself relying on a trusty walking cane for my daily strolls.

During the night, the actress, who is 59 years old, experienced a serious health incident that she referred to as one of her most difficult periods in life.

According to her statement to The Mirror, she shared that she tried to sleep but found it difficult. During the night, she needed to get up to use the restroom, at which point she experienced a loss of balance and nearly fell. She described her entire right side as feeling numb, heavy, and tingling.
