BBC Star Hospitalized Following Suspected Stroke, Left Leg and Arm Severely Affected

Rochelle Raye Anthony, a successful business owner and former contestant on The Apprentice series 17, has been hospitalized after a suspected stroke.

According to reports, Anthony has lost the use of her left arm and left leg, forcing her to take a break from her business and directing those who need her to contact her company through alternative means.

Anthony rose to fame after finishing second on The Apprentice series 17 in 2023, impressing Lord Sugar with her plans for a hairdressing business.

Speaking to a publication at the time, Anthony shared her regrets about not being able to showcase her business in a more diverse and inclusive manner, citing limited resources and time constraints as the main obstacles.

In a recent health scare, Anthony revealed that she had endured severe pain for two weeks before visiting her doctor, who discovered two large gallstones lodged in her bile duct.

The NHS outlines the symptoms of a stroke using the acronym FAST, which stands for Face, Arms, Speech, and Time. The symptoms include a dropped face, weakness or numbness in the arms, slurred or unclear speech, and difficulty understanding others.
