Recalling the terrifying experience, former EastEnders star Cheryl, 59, said: “I went to bed but couldn’t settle.

“When I got up in the night to go to the bathroom, my balance completely went and I had to stop myself from falling over. My whole right side felt numb, heavy and tingly.”

She continued to the Mirror : “You lose the ability to coordinate your hands, to walk properly, your balance is gone.

“It’s frustrating and makes you angry. But I’ve started to recover; I am coming on in leaps and bounds now.”
