During his chat with host Emma Willis, the 21-year-old discussed his bromance with fellow housemate Kieran Lee.
He said: "I love him to bits, he helped me through a lot.
"I got ill, I had to go out and have a brain scan and stuff, ear infection, tonsillitis, I was like 'I can't go any longer' and he was like 'You've got a couple of days left so keep going' so massively, I love him."
Viewers were shocked by the news, with one writing on Twitter: "We didn't know tom was in hospital getting brain scans and everything, they hid that good on the edit."
Another added: "Tom exposing outside contact that we never herd about #BBUK".
A third cheekily wrote: "Just wondering if they found a brain when Tom had his scan."

The Welshman originally entered the house as 'The People's Housemate' in a launch night twist, but failed to be crowned the overall winner.
He wasn't too disappointed though, telling Emma: "I didn't even think I was going in, the next thing I'm sat in the final thinking 'what is going on'.
