Coronation Street's Chris Fountain undergoes heart surgery and shares update from hospital bed
Coronation Street star Chris Fountain has undergone heart surgery after he suffered a stroke last year, which left him unable to speak.
Speaking later after waking up from the hospital bed, which saw him hooked up to a drip, Chris explained what happened during the procedure. Chris admitted that while it was a "little bit nerve-wracking", the heart procedure has a success rate of 99.9% successful. Doctors discovered a blood clot lodged in his brain had caused a Transient Ischaemic Attack – known as a mini-stroke.
