Pregnant Sophie was there to collect him, with a sweet moment showing Jordan on his knees kissing her bare baby bump.

Jordan penned: '22 days in a hospital bed, broken memory from my first admission. The top 1% percent of the worst case of viral meningitis and encephilitis that my Dr has ever seen. Brain swelling, inflammation. Acute memory loss, The only memories I have are ones I would like to forget forever.

Jordan also thanked his wider family and friends for visiting him, telling them he will be 'eternally grateful' for their support.

He finished his lengthy post with a tribute to the staff at Basildon Hospital, writing: 'Drs and nurses and all staff who I feel have become a family to me. Thank you for every thing you have done for me I owe you so much.
