The 35-year-old star said he might have died had he not got to hospital as quickly as he did
"I felt stupid because I knew exactly what I wanted to say to the doctors, but I couldn't get the words out, I was speaking like a toddler, I was really embarrassed."Advertisement
"What's scary is if I hadn't have called 111 when I did and got to hospital so quickly I don't know if that clot could have travelled to the wrong place in my brain, I could have died," he said."That clot was like a ticking bomb in my head." Fountain underwent tests at a specialist stroke unit at the Royal London Hospital, where medics determined he had a hole in his heart which caused the blood clot.
He will now have to have a small operation to mend the hole, according to the report, and it is hoped this will prevent any more clots travelling to his brain. As well as his acting career, Fountain also appeared on Dancing On Ice in 2008. However, he was axed from Coronation Street after videos emerged of him rapping about violence against women, for which he apologised at the time.
