Pregnant Star's Fiancé Battles Meningitis in Hospital

Geordie Shore personality Sophie Kasaei is in 'full nesting mode,' actively preparing her home for her first child's imminent arrival. This comes as her fiancé, TOWIE star Jordan Brook, remains hospitalized while battling a serious illness.

Brook, 31, was diagnosed with viral meningitis, an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord lining, and subsequently encephalitis. He has faced significant challenges in his recovery, including struggling with antiviral medication and experiencing extreme weakness.

Despite the difficulties, Kasaei, 36, is due to give birth around mid-June. The couple, who are expecting a baby boy, remain hopeful for Jordan's full recovery before the birth.

Jordan has shared updates on his condition, describing his body as 'battered and bruised' and fighting a 'mental battle.' He expressed gratitude for the support received and his determination to overcome the illness, drawing motivation from his family. The situation has been described as the 'worst month of their lives' by Kasaei, who also noted Jordan has been experiencing seizures as a side effect.
