The Traitors' Andrew Jenkins has shared an insight into his health.
Andrew, who appeared on series two of the hit BBC programme, has taken to social media to give an update to his online followers and explained that ongoing treatment helps him. Andrew, 45, was instantly flooded with support from fans as he offered an update of him receiving treatment from a chiropractor.
Finalist Andrew recently shared an insight into his life on Wednesday's programme and said he'd been given a "second chance life" following a near-fatal car accident just over two decades ago. Following his accident, he was in a coma for five days.
In view of his 3,000 Instagram followers, the insurance broker shared snaps of himself receiving treatment. Captioning his upload, he penned: "Another great session with Sam @cb_chiropractic. Been seeing Sam regular for 12 months, can’t recommend highly enough! The treatment has helped me to continue to push my body and train hard!"

"They said I was dead initially on the side of the road. I was in a coma for then for five weeks and then got told I had severe brain damage. The injuries I had were horrific and I was told after my accident that I wouldn't walk ever again. And I told the doctor that I would walk again and I did it." Andrew went on to add: "I'm not going to fail, I can't give up on anything.
"So if somebody tells me I can't do something I am very determined and competitive. I strive to be the best I can and win." Later in the episode, Andrew revealed that last year, he met the man who saved his life during an emotional reunion. He told the camera: "I shook his hand and said thank you for saving my life. There are not many people out there who get a chance to see somebody who saved their life and say thank you. It was a very emotional thing.
"I've had hundreds of people messaging me to say that they found my story inspiring and that's led them to open up and start talking to their family. I want to inspire people, I believe I can inspire thousands and hopefully, with this exposure, millions of people."
