By Laura Carreno

An "extremely emotional" Georgia Harrison appeared on TikTok on Tuesday (April 16, 2024) as she announced another content creator, and friend, was left paralysed after a stroke.

The Love Island star shared the news in a video, referring to social media star Louie Mills. Georgia bonded with the 22-year-old after she'd used his voice for one of her posts on the platform. During her emotional clip, she revealed that her fans had informed her he'd recently had a stroke.

"I actually feel extremely extremely emotional", Georgia shared, before tearfully showering her pal with praises. "Of those of you that don't know Louie, he is hilarious, he is just an absolute ball of energy and he is such a lovely boy. One of my first ever TikToks I done was using his voice over. I just absolutely loved his energy. And then we've always stayed in touch and since then he's come and supported loads of my events", she remembered.

Georgia continued: "He is just such an infectious person to be around. He is really really great energy. So I've looked on his TikTok and he had has a stroke."

She then added that Louie was paralysed following the ordeal, leaving Georgia "absolutely devastated." But there is still hope for the young star: "From what I have seen he is going to have the opportunity to rehabilitate himself. It is just going to be a journey getting to that point."

The TV personality ended her video with a promise to be as supportive as possible for Louie and his close ones, claiming: "I just want to send so much love out to Louie and let him know that I am going to come up and see him what I can and let his mum know that anything I can do. Oh it's really upset me."

Georgia concluded: "I can't even tell you anything I can do to help support him, to help raise money for him, to help him back to a place where he feels himself again." Issued with a message from the star urging them to be thankful for their health, Georgia's TikTok followers were quick to share their compassionate thoughts. "I hope he recovers soon! God bless", one of them notably replied in the comment section.

In a video posted on his own profile, Louie Mills, who worked as a Tesco employee before finding fame online, is said to have suffered a "stroke in his spine." The young man can be seen teary in his latest clip and will need to be in rehab for a year. Spinal strokes are reportedly extremely rare as they account for less than 1.25% of all strokes and are caused by a disruption in the blood supply to the spinal cord. This can cause serious injury and damage to tissues and block nerve impulses along the spine.
