In his column for The Daily Mirror, Stokes wrote about his frightening experience but doesn’t mention when and where the incident took place. “It was down to a simple tablet that went down the wrong way and got stuck in my windpipe causing me to choke horribly before the glands in my face went into overdrive to flush it out,” Stokes wrote.
“Until it came out, I thought this might be the end. We’ve all had those moments when something gets stuck in the throat, and someone can help you out. But I was on my own in my room and I couldn’t breathe as it became lodged and started to dissolve...it was a frightening experience. The team doctor came and explained what had happened with the body reacting the way it did. I’m glad it did, even though I was a mess,” he added.
