Another health 'blip' for Ronnie Corbett

Two days in hospital

Ronnie Corbett has spent two more nights in hospital following a health scare.

The 81-year-old comic was readmitted four months after collapsing during a meal to celebrate his CBE.

Corbett, who is now back home in Croydon, South London, recovering, is apparently ‘bright and breezy’ after his latest admission.

Anne, his wife of 47 years, told The Sun: ‘It was just a little blip. He wasn’t feeling right so they took him in. They don’t know what it was but he’s OK now.’

‘I think it’s because he pushes too hard. He needs to rest.”

January’s scare was caused by blood pressure problems following a knee operation.
