Singer Conor Maynard issues health update after being rushed to hospital

Singer Conor Maynard has updated fans on his health after being rushed to hospital.

On Sunday, the 32-year-old took to social media to share that he had fallen down a flight of stairs.

He posted a photo of himself lying on a stretcher, his head and neck secured in a brace, with the caption, "Sunday Funday."

Then in a video, shared shortly afterward, he was seen being wheeled out of the hospital on a stretcher by two paramedics with his neck and back in a brace.

Despite the alarming scene, he provided fans with an update hours later: “I’m doing ok guys. You’re not allowed to laugh … but I fell down some stairs.

“But nothing too serious, you can breathe now.”

Maynard, who gained widespread fame in 2012 with his debut single Can't Say No, has since become an influential figure on social media, especially on TikTok, where he continues to engage with his audience.

In 2023, he released his latest album, adding to his growing fanbase. The singer has been a key figure in the music scene for over a decade, and his personal updates are closely followed by many.

In addition to his music career, Maynard has made headlines for his personal life. In 2023, he became a father for the first time when The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton welcomed their daughter.

However, the two are no longer together and are currently not on speaking terms. Chilton, who became pregnant after a one-night stand following a wrap party for the second season of The Traitors, has spoken openly about the struggles of raising their child as a single mother.

Not long after their child's birth, she posted a message on Instagram, revealing that she was considering taking legal action against Maynard for financial support, sharing a WhatsApp message that read: "I am killing myself to pay for what she needs and deserves.

“So with that I can talk to you face to face or we can do court ... take your pick. It's time to grow up."

The Standard have contacted Conor Maynard’s rep for comment.
