Big Brother Star Jon Tickle Diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease
Ray Shah said the diagnosis came after a reunion with former housemates, and Jon Tickle has since received messages of support from fans and friends.
- Big Brother star Jon Tickle has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, fellow contestant Ray Shah revealed on Instagram following a London reunion over the weekend.
- The reunion marked 23 years since the cast appeared on the fourth series of the reality show, where Tickle, 52, rose to fame before co-presenting the science-based series Brainiac.
- Motor Neurone Disease destroys nerves in the brain and spinal cord, impacting movement and breathing; the condition affects 5,000 adults in the UK at any one time, with about 1,100 new diagnoses annually.
- Fans and celebrity friends responded with messages of support following the disclosure, while Shah noted there was a "touch of sadness" to the gathering but expressed plans to organize another reunion.
- The condition is usually life-shortening, as it causes muscle weakness that worsens progressively, with no current cure for the disease that robs sufferers of their ability to move and eat.
