Love Island star Andrew Le Page has revealed that he was diagnosed with a brain tumour aged 20.
The 27-year-old reality star reached the final of the ITV2 dating show last year with girlfriend Tasha Ghouri, 23.
He recently joined his beau on her podcast Superpowers and opened up about his health battle.

He explained: “So I had like a lump on my head for like a few years, and my brother felt it and was like ‘Andrew, what is that?’ and I was like ‘I don’t know, I’ve had it for a while’.

“Then and there, he called up the doctor and got me an appointment and I had an MRI, then went back to the doctors again, and they told me I had this brain tumour.”
The TV personality said he broke down in tears and unable to speak after receiving the diagnosis.
He continued: “I went back into my car, started crying, and literally went back to work that afternoon.

“They all knew I’d gone to the doctor’s for it, and they were like,’ How’d it go?’ and I couldn’t speak. I literally just could not speak.
“Eventually one of my colleagues went to my boss and said “I think Andrew needs to go home and process this’.”
Andrew travelled from his home in Guernsey to London to have an operation to remove the tumour a few weeks after the diagnosis.

“It was scary, really scary.,” Andrew admitted.
“Like this is major, having a brain tumour at 20. Within two weeks, I flew to London and had surgery, got it removed, but at the time it was so scary, like what could have been.”
Andrew confirmed that he was now “all good”.
Last year, he told Daily Star that he’d be up for taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Year!.
Addressing whether of not he’d go to the jungle, Andrew told Daily Star at the TV Choice Awards: “I’d love to do it.”
