Hollyoaks actor Craig Russell reveals he 'nearly died' after brain tumour went undetected for 15 years leaving him suffering terrifying symptoms
Hollyoaks ' Craig Russell has revealed he 'nearly died' after a brain tumour went undetected for 15 years and left him suffering terrifying side effects.
The Welsh actor, 48, who played DI Mark Gascoyne in the Channel 4 soap between 2008 and 2009, alongside roles in EastEnders and Netflix's Queen Cleopatra, was left with memory loss, confusion and also began to lose his vision in one eye. Craig, who shares sons Teddy, 10, and Henry, seven, with his wife told PA Real Life: 'The tumour got so big it pushed my skull up and out, it deformed the back of my head,' Craig has since gone on to make a full recovery and finished his latest film Protein, in which he plays a cannibal series killer, which was released earlier this year.
