The teenager from Burntwood was admitted into hospital at the weekend with breathing difficulties but posted on Twitter and Facebook at the time that he was 'stable' and there was 'no immediate panic'.

It comes after Stephen, who is battling incurable cancer, made a remarkable recovery after he was previously hospitalised when he posted his now famous 'final thumbs up' picture.
