Man v Food star Adam Richman has revealed that he contracted the deadly MRSA infection from a moustache follicle - and that he almost died from the bug.
The famous foodie, 47, said that he noticed that there was something wrong at a Michelin event in Zurich in 2018.
He revealed that he noticed a pimple-like growth on his follicle which did not go away - and that his lip eventually inflated like a banana.
Shock: Man v Food star Adam Richman suffered a deadly MRSA infection from a moustache follicle which left him needing surgery and almost dying
'One of my mustache follicles just looked like a pimple and it was just not healing well,' he told podcast Celebrity Catch Up: Life After That Thing I Did.
'I'd gone to a doctor and then eventually my lip inflated like a banana - it was grotesque. I remember I went to tear a piece of medical tape and I couldn't get to my teeth.'
The star had to be quarantined and needed surgery and 'serious courses of antibiotics' to help tackle and clear out the infection.
