Eggheads star CJ de Mooi is trying a new course of treatment in hospital after revealing his terminal AIDS diagnosis.
The TV star, 49, revealed just yesterday that he's battling the disease.
He opened up about his diagnosis in a heartbreaking tweet, and today, gave his followers an update on his health.
The post written by someone acting for CJ said: "Let’s all just cheer up a bit please! CJ is always positive and will start posting his morning videos again soon as people really miss them.
"He goes to hospital tomorrow to start a new course of treatment so we’ll keep smiling and enjoy the sunny weather shan’t we?"

CJ followed up the post with his own tweet.
He said: "Hello everyone. Thank you so much for all the kind words.
"Social media can be a rough place sometimes but my Twitter family is wonderful and I hope I can return the love and positivity you’ve shown me.
"Get out there, enjoy the sun and remember you are amazing! CJ."
CJ was axed from Eggheads in 2016 as he faced false claims he'd sexually assaulted a man on a night out.
He also racked up massive legal bills fighting extradition to the Netherlands over claims he murdered a homeless man in Amsterdam in 1988.
The allegations were later dropped, but he was left with huge debts and made bankrupt in September.
He's now facing the prospect of losing his home so a crowdfunding campaign has been set up in a bid to help him.
His plight was detailed in a series of heartbreaking messages posted on Twitter .
CJ wrote: "I’ve been living with AIDS for 30 years but the agony of the last 3 years means I may not have many left.
"I’m outwardly healthy, still running and am staying positive I can get better.

"Thank you so much to everyone who donated, commented, retweeted or sent support.
"You are amazing as is the £3348.72 raised for CJ so far.
"If he somehow manages to save his house, it will all be repaid or go to charity. Joe."
