X Factor star Myles Stephenson left his fans concerned as he shared a picture from hospital today.
The 31-year-old revealed he was undergoing tests after learning he has a heart condition.

Following the worrying image, which saw Myles strapped up with monitors, he explained: “I am ok. I have a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which basically means in a nutshell that my heart walls are too thick and it can cause problems pumping blood around my body.
“So I have yearly check-ups. This is all very new to me as well so I am still working out what I need to do and how I have to carry myself now with regards to my heart and how much exercise I can do and stuff like that.”
The Rak-Su star went on to say he had a fitness test today but it was cut short because his ‘blood pressure is dangerously high’.
But he was quick to reassure his fans, insisting: “I am all good, not to worry, it’s very new to me, I am trying to understand what is going on.”
The I’m A Celeb star recently revealed he is expecting his second child with long-term girlfriend Keli Hall.
The pair became parents for the first time last year to a little boy called Shiloh.
Myles has lived a life in the spotlight after Rak-Su won ITV’s X Factor in 2017 and he also appeared on I’m A Celeb in 2019.
What is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
According to the NHS, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is when the heart muscle cells enlarge and the walls of the heart chambers thicken.
The heart chambers are reduced in size so they cannot hold much blood, and the walls cannot relax properly and may stiffen. Also, the flow of blood through the heart may be obstructed.
In most cases, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will not have an impact on daily life. Some people do not have any symptoms and do not need treatment.
But that does not mean the condition cannot be serious. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common cause of sudden unexpected death in childhood and in young athletes.
