JUSTIN Bieber has announced he has “full paralysis” on one side of his face after a virus attacked the nerves in his ear.

The Canadian pop superstar, who has cancelled upcoming shows on his Purpose tour, explained he was suffering from ‘pretty serious’ Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

Posting a video on Instagram, the 28-year-old said: ‘It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear in my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis.

‘As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move, so there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.’

In the video, Bieber attempts to smile, blink, and move his face but one side remained still as he continued to speak.

‘I wish this wasn’t the case but obviously my body is telling me I gotta slow down.
