'Get Well Soon' Gogglebox Fans Send Well-Wishes to Star Recovering From Brain Surgery

Shaun Malone said he is finding recovery difficult after a six-hour operation and shared photos of staples on his head.

  • On Friday, Gogglebox star Shaun Malone shared an update from his hospital bed after undergoing brain surgery, posting a photo of staples on his head and noting the heatwave was a "terrible time" for recovery.
  • Malone first faced health challenges in 2010 when sinusitis caused a life-threatening brain infection, leading to severe swelling, a two-week coma, and permanent stroke-like damage affecting his left side.
  • Surgeons performed a six-hour operation to remove a piece of bone from his skull due to swelling, after which he spent six months in hospital learning to walk and talk again.
  • Fans flooded social media with well-wishes, while his mother Julie Malone and father Tom Malone previously described the terrifying experience when doctors said he had a less than 10 per cent chance of survival.
  • Malone planned to be discharged home on Friday, June 26, returning to the family he has appeared with on Channel 4's Gogglebox program since 2014.
