Big Brother finalist Henry Southan has shared a worrying health update to his Instagram story, confirming he’d been rushed to hospital and hooked up to a drip.
The reality TV star, who appeared in season 20 of Big Brother, posted to his stories today (17 September) to share that he had to go to the hospital rather than attend the Slow Horses premiere he was supposed to attend. Uploading a picture of himself attached to a drip, Henry wrote that it wasn’t the “most ideal 24 hours.”
“Hasn’t been the most ideal 24 hours!” he said. “Getting much-needed rest – gutted to be missing the Slow Horses premiere tonight but rest comes first,” he said.

Henry didn’t share what had caused his sudden dash to the hospital. But he posts frequently to his Instagram, so it may not be long before the next update.
The ITV2 star shot to fame in 2023 when he joined the Big Brother house for season 20. The then 25-year-old from Toddington only faced the public vote twice, once in week two and then again in the final where he came third. During the show, he became romantically close to fellow contestant Jordan Sangha, particularly after Henry won a luxury dining experience and chose Jordan to enjoy it with him.

Jordan was crowned the winner of the series. After leaving the Big Brother house, Henry and Jordan continued their relationship, until their sudden split in April this year. Both shared how the split affected them on social media.
Henry posted: “After a lot of thought, Jordan and I have decided to go our separate ways. It’s incredibly sad, and we’re both hurting, but we know it’s the right step. We’re so grateful for the love and support you’ve shown us – thank you. Please give us some space as we figure things out privately.”
Likewise, Jordan posted to his own account: “After many times, memories, and precious experiences, Henry and I have parted ways. I want to thank everyone who has supported us. We will always remain close friends. Cheers x.”
Since then, Henry has posted a lot to his social media, particularly restaurants he would recommend. The reality TV star has a video series where he showcases must-try places to eat at “before you die”. His series is beloved by many famous faces, including Gemma Collins, who commented that it was “good to see you back” after Henry took at short break from social media.

Henry has also posted content from red carpets too, as he has attended many events like the Slow Horses premiere, which he was supposed to attend before being taken to the hospital. Most recently, he has attended the premiere for Swiped, a Disney+ film about Whitney Wolfe, the former CEO of Bumble.
The film stars Lily James and made its international debut at the Toronto Film Festival on September 9. Its European premiere, which Henry attended, was on September 11. The film is expected to stream later this month.
