TOWIE star Jordan Brook has revealed the shocking aftermath of his meningitis battle and the challenges it has brought — both physically and emotionally. The 31-year-old, who was rushed to hospital in March after the virus attacked his brain, is still recovering, dealing with a limp and extreme overstimulation that has left him feeling “like a shell of myself.”
Speaking on the You Alright Hun? podcast, Jordan opened up about the pressure of staying strong for his first child with Geordie Shore’s Sophie Kasaei, 36:
“Two weeks ago, I didn’t feel like I was strong enough… I have to be careful, but I want to be strong enough for my baby boy that I’ve waited so long for.”
Jordan paid heartfelt tribute to Sophie, who has navigated pregnancy while supporting him through his health ordeal:
“Holding my family up in a hospital bed next to me when we didn’t know if I’d make it… she is incredible. She deserves every single bit of joy this pregnancy brings.” 
But despite the love and baby joy, Jordan revealed there won’t be a proposal just yet: Sophie doesn’t want to be proposed to while pregnant. Jordan explained, “We’re gonna have the baby first… if she falls pregnant again, it could be years before we marry.”
Fans are moved by Jordan’s honesty and the couple’s inspiring journey through illness, pregnancy, and hope — a story of love, resilience, and patience.
