Strictly coach, 60, could lose her home after stroke left her needing round-the-clock care

The husband of former Strictly Come Dancing coach Jane Bullock said he may be forced to sell their home after his wife's stroke has left her needing costly, round-the-clock care. Ex-professional ballroom dancer Ms Bullock, 60, appeared on BBC Breakfast alongside husband Warren, 61, in which he said her life 'completely changed' after she collapsed in their Wolverhampton home last August. Ms Bullock - who has run ZigZag Dance Factory with her husband for more than 30 years - suffered the catastrophic stroke after teaching a dance class and was rushed to hospital where she was put on life support and ventilation for nearly a month. After spending eight months in hospital, Ms Bullock finally returned home to her husband earlier this year. She now requires 24/7 care, after her condition caused partial blindness and meant she lost all movement on the left side of her body. Speaking in the pre-recorded interview with the BBC's Graham Satchell, the couple - who met when they were just 19 - detailed just how 'relentless' Ms Bullock's health ordeal has been. Mr Bullock said: 'I didn't realise the amount of work it would be, because some nights we'd get no sleep at all.'It's affected the way she goes to the toilet, it's affected her bladder and her bowels.'She's also had Crohn's disease and that has been a challenge - some nights we can be up every hour of the night and that means no sleep.

'Because all the wires in my head are broken.'Recalling the devastating moment he realised his wife had suffered a stroke, Mr Bullock added: 'I tried to pick her up and she gave me the right arm and I said give me your left arm and she kept giving me the right arm and I thought 'Oh, this seems odd.''I looked at her face and I could see that her mouth had drooped and that's when I started to realise I think this is a stroke.'Now, Mr Bullock said the couple might be forced to sell their home as a 'last resort' to pay for his wife's medical care, which comes in at almost £2,000 per week. She currently has five weekly physio sessions, two of which are paid for by the NHS. The other three sessions are paid for by the couple, on top of carers costing £1,640 per week. Ms Bullock has run ZigZag Dance Factory with her husband for more than 30 years, and starred alongside him in their Netflix reality series Baby Ballroom A GoFundMe has been set up to cover the excessive costs of Ms Bullock's healthcare Ms Bullock was left unable to walk and in need of 24/7 care after suffering a severe stroke Ms Bullock - former Strictly Come Dancing coach - pictured before her life-altering strokeMr Bullock said: 'Nobody's got a spare £2,000-a-week coming in... and there's just no way I could cope on my own.'In June, he set up a GoFundMe campaign to aid covering the costs, raising over £72,000 so far. Mr Bullock said he was 'genuinely shocked' but 'incredibly grateful' for the outpouring of public support the fundraiser has received so far. However, the professional dancer has urged the government to do more to help families like his. He said: 'The government doesn't have enough money to pay for care like this for everybody that needs it.'Writing on GoFundMe, Mr Bullock wrote the couple's 'dream' is one day his wife will 'walk again' - and her pain will be eased and she will have a 'better quality of life.'The campaign reads: 'The costs for 24 hour care, daily Neuro physiotherapy, personal care, specialist lifting equipment, specialist wheelchair transport to appointments, and adaptations to our home to build a downstairs disabled friendly wet room & toilet, are just a few of the hurdles we are about to face - it doesn't stop and will be needed for the rest of her life and we cannot do this alone. 'We are asking for help because we have reached the point where we need it. Any money raised will only go towards Jane's rehabilitation and care to try and help her regain some of her life back. 'Jane has been a dancer for 54 years and went on to represent England around the world making multiple British, European & World Professional finals. 'She has always been slim & fit & lived a very healthy lifestyle - she didn't deserve what's happened to her.'One day, somewhere, somehow, I plan to hold her in my arms on that dance floor once again.'
