Matt Richardson says he has a lot of amnesia after suffering a brain infection

Matt Richardson has announced that he has memory loss due to a brain infection.

the previous Xtra factor Host and comedian who starred on Dancing on Ice shared the news of the infection on Fariday (July 1).

He told his followers that he “doesn’t remember” seeing Green Day with his brother, even though the gig happened last weekend.

Sharing a picture of the performance, Richardson, 31, wrote: “My brother and I watched Green Day in Dublin last week. And I can’t remember that unfortunately because I had a nice infection that had some wonderful effects on my brain and a lot of amnesia.

“After a really cool hospital stay, I’m trying to put it all back together.”

He added comedicly, “Hopefully the memories come back but if I owe you money I’m sorry you’re on your own.”

The TV personality followed suit Dancing on Ice after fellow comedian Rufus Hound quit due to Covid-19. He called it a “career saver” as he struggled with work before the pandemic.

Among those who sent him good wishes were island of love Presenter Laura Whitmore, who captioned his post: “Hope you’re doing well!!! X”
