    Deal Or No Deal star Brad Wale has issued a heartbreaking update after revealing his terminal health diagnosis on the ITV show.<\/p>\n

    The player, from the West Midlands, left his co-stars and viewers watching at home emotional during a November episode of the rebooted series. In the show, Brad bravely opened up about his Motor Neurone Disease (MND).<\/p>\n

    The condition affects the motor nerves which eventually degenerate and die. This makes the muscles weaker and weaker, eventually leading to paralysis.<\/p>\n

    Brad was on the show trying to raise money for his family and to achieve his bucket list goals. However he sadly walked away with just \u00a35 after a devastating turn in the heartbreaking episode.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Since then, he\u2019s received an outpour of support from fans, with a fundraiser having been set up to raise money for Brad. And on Wednesday (December 6) Brad appeared on Good Morning Britain. <\/p>\n

    Speaking to hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Brad said: \u201cIt\u2019s been a really long progress getting the diagnosis. It wasn\u2019t until very recently.\u201d He added: \u201cIt sounds silly, but when I was told that for the first time it was almost a relief.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Giving an update on how he is doing, Brad said: \u201cI get cramping in my hands, cramping in my feet. I\u2019m not able to walk much at all anymore. <\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019ve been having speech therapy on speech, and that\u2019s got a bit better. But I\u2019m really tired, that still goes.\u201d <\/p>\n

    Brad went on: "I just have to have lots of adaptions and stuff these days to kind of do life. But I'm a big believer in positivity and I think as long as I stay positive, I can fight it all the way."<\/p>\n
