Speaking from his home in Monmouthshire, which he shares with his husband Andrew, the former Eggheads star talked about his fight for survival. That was that. CJ spent four months on the streets as a teenager, before setting off to London, Holland and Germany in pursuit to change his circumstances. Taking to Twitter at the time, he penned: "I've been living with AIDS for 30 years but the agony of the last 3 years means I may not have many left.
CJ de Mooi dancing to the correct answer on Eggheads. The ex-Eggheads star was inundated with support as he candidly spoke of his difficult past. He said: 'The only asset I have is my house and I was declared bankrupt last year. I have had to beg and borrow. The unfortunate former-TV personality was also accused, wrongly, of theft, assault and child abuse after his initial run-ins with the law.
De Mooi was then arrested at Heathrow Airport in September for the alleged murder of a man in Holland, on the back of something he had penned as a throwaway line in his autobiography about an encounter with a mugger in Amsterdam years previously. I was questioned by police and three months later I was cleared of any wrongdoing'. I never said anything like that. The Dutch prosecutor very quickly withdrew the arrest warrant because the authorities had made an embarrassing error.
The judge had to apologise. I was glad that I was going to die. I walked out of the hospital with a big smile on my face. That was that. Worry: He shared a concerning post as he revealed things had taken 'a nasty turn' amid his battle with AIDS earlier this summer. Painful: The former quiz show regular took to Twitter to tell fans he was taking a break from social media as he 'wouldn't allow his negativity online'.
Called Eggheads, De Mooi was asked to be a regular quizzer on the panel, going up against contestants from the public on a weekly basis. Life - and money - got better, and he no longer wanted to 'give up' like he did when he was first diagnosed with HIV. But things have since gotten even worse for the ex-TV star. I lost a lot of weight and I was in and out of hospital. I run a lot to try and keep as healthy as I can, so that keeps me slim, but even so I was weighing less than ever.
He put me on new medication and the results have been dramatic. I will never get paid work again in this country, I know that. I just feel like I need a fresh start, before I get too old. Old face: He joined Eggheads as one of the original quiz masters in , but was sacked from the show in De Mooi said he was forced to reveal his battle with AIDS as the stress of his legal issues was affecting his already-weakened immune system. The former model, who contracted HIV after resorting to prostitution when he was a homeless teenager, hopes to take up acting in New Zealand or Australia.
De Mooi is training to run the Cardiff Half Marathon in October - one month before his 50th birthday - where he hopes to beat his own personal best. Sad: On Easter Sunday this year the star revealed he's 'dying of AIDS' after a 30 year battle, candidly telling fans 'he may not have long left'. In doing so he will be raising money for The Wallich, a Welsh homeless charity based in Cardiff, and helping people who are living where he once lived - on the streets.
Mr De Mooi said: 'For the time being at least I have a roof over my head. Three months ago, he shared a concerning post on social media, saying that things have taken 'a very nasty turn' amid his battle with AIDS. He took to Twitter to tell fans he was taking a break from social media as he 'wouldn't allow his negativity online,' just weeks after revealing that he's been forced to sell memorabilia after being left penniless.
In the tweet, he wrote: 'I'm sorry but I'll be away from social media for a few days. I'm leaving Eggheads for my acting future in Cape Town. I'm so grateful for all the show has given me but must try this now. The year-old from Barnsley announced he was leaving once before in , but returned in to replace fellow Egghead Daphne Fowler.
