ITV Star Hospitalized After Experiencing ‘Screaming Grinding Pain’

ITV star Matthew Wright has revealed that he has been rushed to the hospital due to excruciating pain.

Wright, 59, is well-known for his roles in both television and radio. From 2000 to 2018, he hosted the talk show The Wright Stuff. He is currently a presenter for LBC and a regular on ITV’s This Morning.

Last month, Wright disclosed that he had experienced severe neck pain, which was “off the scale” and resulted in a hospital stay. Unfortunately, the condition has returned, and he has shared another health update with his followers on X/Twitter late Sunday night (14 July).

“Unbelievable. I’m back in the hospital after the nerve kicked off big time, screaming grinding pain. Paramedics once again incredible but no resolution on the horizon which is a bit grim frankly,” Wright wrote.

Shortly after, he provided more information about his situation, saying, “Another excellent NHS experience. More drugs, stronger ones, and a hope things might improve in the next couple of weeks.

“F***ng hope so coz I’ve had enough of this already. Thanks for your good wishes again.”

The Wright Stuff star received numerous comforting messages and expressed his gratitude for the support.

“Just hearing about this… Really sorry you’re suffering chap. Love and best wishes,” wrote one supporter.

Before being taken to the hospital, Wright had updated his followers on his medication and upcoming tests, including an MRI.

“I’m doing okay – pregabalin is good, pain now just annoying, I don’t want to tear my head off anymore!” he wrote. “Getting an MRI tomorrow and guided steroid injection sometime after. Hopefully, that’ll do the job. Thanks again for the love, never experienced pain like it!”

He had also mentioned that he might need to pay for a nerve blocking drug for his neck or face months of pain. He added, “Good job I’ve just sold my house… Not sure I’ve got a choice.”

“Good luck Matthew I hope the injection works out,” read another supportive message. “Hope it doesn’t keep you off the airwaves. Your weekend shows are seriously excellent.”

Wright responded to many of the messages individually before sharing a general post thanking everyone for their support.

“I have to say your messages this week have been informative, helpful, and supportive. I feel most grateful to every one of you who took the time to send a message. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
