Star of Strictly Greg Rutherford has opened up about his health after suffering from food poisoning in the midst of the Paris Olympics.
After recording an episode of the Inside Track podcast with Sanya Richi Ross, the 37-year-old athlete shared a video of himself in bed to his Instagram Story, expressing that he had been feeling “horrendously” unwell.
Greg Rutherford health update
“Hello everyone. Thought I’d give you a little update. I’ve just recorded the first pod with Sonya, really good fun. But I got food poisoning last night. I have been in a horrendously bad way and I haven’t felt this unwell in a long time,” Greg explained yesterday (August 1).
“I’ve been puking, like violently projectile vomiting, not to get really in depth with everybody. Day one in Paris has been me laying on my bed, getting up recording the first show, and I’m now back in bed before we record another show in two hours time. God food poisoning is horrendous.”
This isn’t the only health scare Greg has endured this year. While competing on Dancing On Ice, the retired athlete had to withdraw from the competition due to injuring himself.
‘One of the most terrifying experiences’
Greg’s most recent run of bad luck took place last month when a skylight exploded inside his home. He showed off the aftermath where glass shards were scattered across his front room.
The dad-of-three expressed that his children had just been sat under it, and admitted he was shaken from the scary situation.
“One of the most terrifying experiences – one of our skylights up here just exploded. Just, literally, me standing in the kitchen watching the TV on the wall, and it just went – bang! And glass went everywhere,” Greg said.
He added: “I kid you not, two minutes before, Milo was down here doing some school work, and I said: ‘It’s a nice day, go out on the deck, mate.’ Thank God I did that because if not, I can’t even imagine what could have happened.”
