Heartfelt wishes are pouring in for BBC Apprentice star Rochelle Anthony, who has shared a shocking health update. The entrepreneur and salon owner, who gained fame in 2023 on the BBC One show, has been hospitalised with a suspected stroke. Rochelle took to Instagram from her hospital bed to reveal she had suddenly lost function on one side of her body, leaving fans and customers concerned.
In her candid post, Rochelle apologised to her clients for having to reschedule appointments, explaining she’s concentrating on recovery. Emphasising the impact of stress and trauma, she shared, “I have no use of my left leg and left arm.” Rochelle also announced a temporary social media break, directing any urgent enquiries to her salon team.
This isn’t the first health scare for Rochelle. Back in 2024, she bravely discussed enduring severe pain before discovering she had gallstones in her bile duct, despite surgery the previous year to remove her gallbladder. Her resilience shines as she encourages everyone to seek medical advice if something feels off.
Fans might remember Rochelle from her stint on The Apprentice, where she impressed with her salon, The Dolls House. Although Lord Sugar backed another contestant, Rochelle’s business has continued to thrive, drawing clients nationwide to Milton Keynes.
A reminder: a stroke can be life-threatening. If you notice symptoms like sudden weakness, numbness, or trouble speaking, seek emergency medical assistance. Let’s rally around Rochelle and send her all our positive vibes for a full recovery! 💪❤️
