He was live on air but something didn't feel right
TV and radio star Craig Charles was rushed to hospital after he fell ill while hosting a BBC music show. The 58-year-old was presenting his regular afternoon slot on 6 Music when he felt a worrying tingling in his fingers and a pain in the right side of his shoulder.
He said: "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.Liverpool-born Craig said his colleagues urged him to go to hospital, but he soldiered on until his wife Jackie picked him up from work later and insisted they go straight to A&E. He was given an ECG test straight away to rule out any heart problems and then spent 24 hours in hospital undergoing various scans and tests.
He said: "This is no disrespect or no criticism of Wythenshawe Hospital, they were brilliant, they were professional, they were caring, they were dedicated. It's just they're understaffed and they're overworked so they called me in at sort of quarter to ten at night and said you'll have to have a CT scan."
