Craig Charles was rushed to hospital after falling ill live on air during his BBC Radio 6 music slot. The former Coronation Street actor, 58, experienced shooting pains up his shoulder and neck and was unable to hold a pen during his show.
Speaking on the radio on Friday, Craig detailed the scary ordeal to listeners as he revealed he pushed through the illness to finish his show.
Craig recounted the incident: “My hands couldn't grip the pen and my fingers were tingling. I had a pain in the right side of me shoulder going up my neck and into the back of my head."He added: "The producer asked: 'Are you okay?' I said, 'Not really, but we'll get through the show."Craig’s team suggested he should go to his hospital before his wife Jackie picked him up and insisted they go to A&E at Wythenshawe Hospital.
The Red Dwarf actor spent 24 hours in hospital undergoing various scans and tests, and underwent an ECG to check for heart problems before getting the all clear. "They gave me an instant ECG to make sure that my heart was fine and all that," Craig added.
