Rochelle Anthony Hospitalized with Suspected Stroke

The Apprentice star Rochelle Anthony has been rushed to hospital for a suspected stroke.

The businesswoman, 39, appeared on the competition back in 2023 where she reached the final before coming runner up to winner Marnie Swindells. 

And taking to Instagram on Thursday the star shared a terrifying health update with fans as she said she has no use of her left leg or arm. 

Sharing a picture in her hospital bed with her hand attached to drips, she wrote: 'Dolls, I am in A&E with a suspected stroke.'

Apologising to her customers at The Dollhouse Salon in Milton Keynes, she continued: 'I am so sorry for any clients I need to reschedule. Please bear with me.

'Stress and trauma are crazy triggers for serious conditions. I have no use of my left leg and left arm.

'I’ll be off my phone, please contact Dolls House Collective, they should be in touch.'

It isn't the first time Rochelle has been admitted to hospital after she had two gallstones stuck in her bile duct back in 2024. 

A year prior she also had her gallbladder removed as well as 19 gallstones. 

She told fans at the time: 'I’ve been struggling with back pain for the past six weeks. These last 10 days have really ramped up.'

After being told the stones needed to be removed, she was sent home with strong painkillers in the meantime as she awaited surgery. 

She continued: 'That’s left me sleeping all day/being sick feeling dizzy. But it’s better than the intense pain I’ve had for the past six days.

'Trust your gut and fight for answers. Hopefully, I will get the much-needed operation asap.'

Rochelle closed down five limited companies prior to appearing on The Apprentice.

She owns The Dollshouse Salon in Milton Keynes, but it hasn't always been plain sailing for Rochelle, with the reality contestant attempting a number of times to make a success of herself.

Television personality Rochelle launched Blow & Glow Ltd in March 2019 but she was handed a compulsory strike-off just over a year later in 2020, meaning Companies House is likely to have petitioned for the business to be removed from the register.

Blow & Glow was officially struck off the following January and was dissolved the same month.

In October 2019, Rochelle registered Ultimate Weave Extensions Ltd with Companies House under the name of The Invisi Weave Ltd.

She was notified of a compulsory strike-off in January 2021 before changing the name of the business, and was handed another strike-off in December last year, with the company set to close later this month if no action is taken.

In April 2020, Rochelle registered The Dollshouse Academy Ltd with Companies House and was handed a compulsory strike-off in July 2021.

The strike-off action was discontinued the same month and in December 2021 the company was registered as dormant with just £1 in its accounts.

Meanwhile, The Dolls House Hair and Beauty Ltd was registered with Companies House in 2014 before it was dissolved in August of 2021, and The Dolls House Hair Ltd was incorporated in 2014 but was dissolved via voluntary strike-off in September 2020.

Rochelle told MailOnline: 'I've registered multiple company names in the past which is not uncommon.

'Business is sometimes trial and error to get to where you ultimately want to be and that is where I am now; with a business which I'm immensely proud of creating - The Dolls House Salon - and which I strongly believe in.'
