Alex, 50, looked downcast as he sat in A&E with a green t-shirt on and a cannula in his arm.
He penned to his followers: “I’ve been in hospital since 9am this morning. I’ve already had a CT scan, and I’m now waiting for an MRI to check if there’s a bleed on the posterior part of my brain.
“I honestly can’t believe how I’ve been walking lately — so “punch drunk” that people keep assuming I’m drunk when I’m out. I’m not. This is just how my body moves these days, and it’s a horrible feeling not knowing why.
“The pain, the imbalance, the uncertainty… it’s all become really hard to live with.”

Alex, who was married to Katie for 11 months in 2010, went on: “This isn’t a negative post about martial arts, fighting, or “don’t do combat sports.” I love this sport. It’s my life.
“But after around 300 fights, years of martial arts training, and being hit more times than I can count — plus my cauliflower ears to prove it — I want young lads coming up in the sport to start training smarter. Wear your headgear. Look after yourselves.
“Think long-term, not just about the next fight.”
Sharing an update on his current health, the cage fighter continued: “Thank God the scans so far have shown no tumours. My dad passed away at 77 from a brain tumour, so hearing that today was a massive relief.
“Now we’re just waiting to see if there’s any bleed or any signs of brain damage that might explain what’s been happening with my walking and balance.
“This is me being honest, raising awareness, and letting people know what really goes on behind closed doors. Combat sports are incredible — but your health is everything.”
Alex ended his message by writing: “I’ll keep everyone posted when I get the results. Thank you to everyone who’s sent messages and support today.”
Just last year, Alex was rushed to hospital with a life threatening condition.
He had a suspected abscess in his throat at the time, and MMA star Alex confessed that he didn’t realise how serious it could be left untreated.
Alex took to Instagram to share an update with fans while sitting in hospital.
He wrote: “Not having such a great weekend….
“Felt rough went to out of hours gp to be told to go straight to hospital.
“Looks like I have an abscess in my throat that may need to be syringed. Didn’t realise how dangerous it was to be left with out treated!!
“Was literally just going to take pain relief and sleep it off!
“Thank god I saw someone as was told it could have burst which is deadly!
“Thanking the NHS as always for your amazing services @nhsengland.
“Waiting to see a doc now to let me know if I will be operated on ….”
Alex and ex Katie started dating in 2009, shortly after her divorce from ex Peter Andre.
The former couple were married for two years before they wet their separate ways.
Alex later shared dating Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton and they share one daughter called Dolly.
