Andrew Tate's rep said that he has "a dark spot on his lung, most likely a tumor."

Andrew Tate remains behind bars on allegations of organized crime and human trafficking following his arrest in Romania. The former kickboxer and his brother, Tristan Tate, have maintained their innocence since their arrest, though authorities in the European country haven’t released them. Andrew Tate has been incredibly vocal about his experience behind bars but the latest revelation is left many of his supporters concerned for his health.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, Tate’s rep said that the ex Big Brother contestant is likely suffering from cancer. After Tate previously indicated that he’s dealing with a health condition that “shouldn’t be taken lightly,” his rep said that it’s likely cancer. The rep confirmed, “Tate has a dark spot on his lung, most likely a tumour.” His doctors in Romania and Dubai expressed concern surrounding the lesion of his upper right lung. Per medical reports, they described it as a “serious health condition.” “No official diagnosis has been confirmed and he is in good shape and is staying strong. His doctors have requested that he returns to Dubai for further testing,” the rep said, though Romanian authorities reportedly only want him to receive treatment in the country.
