Towie Star's Cancer Scare Amid Meningitis Battle
16 Sep
Summary
- Doctors suspected brain cancer during meningitis battle.
- He feared dying before his son's birth.
- His son Brody was born after his recovery.

Jordan Brook, known from Towie, has revealed the harrowing extent of his health battle earlier this year. While recovering from viral meningitis and encephalitis, doctors performed a lumbar puncture and subsequently informed him that brain cancer could not be ruled out. This news came at a devastating time, as his partner Sophie Kasaei was seven months pregnant with their longed-for child. The situation was intensified by the fact that the meningitis and encephalitis could have been fatal more quickly than cancer. Brook described this as the worst time of his life, with his parents and pregnant partner by his side. He found the strength to survive by focusing on becoming a father. This motivation was crucial as he battled what doctors described as one of the worst cases of viral meningitis and encephalitis they had ever seen. In June, he and Sophie welcomed their son, Brody Jordan Daryll Brook, a moment Jordan described as the most amazing feeling he has ever experienced. He expressed his deep adoration for his partner and his excitement to explore the world with their son.
