Bob Mortimer says 'I'm not very well at the moment' after he's taken to hospital

Bob Mortimer, who is best known for his role in the BBC show Gone Fishing, has revealed he is 'not very well' following a recent hospital visit. Several years ago Bob underwent a triple heart bypass.

The comedy star revealed his recent trip to hospital on Richard Herring’s podcast. He said: “I am not very well. I am not very healthy at the moment. I did a show last week, a fishing show and there was only two and a half days filming and I did it Tuesday, Wednesday, and half of Thursday and I was in hospital on the Saturday.

“I am sorry I should not have said that should I? It's a real downer.” He added: “I think because I was a smoker and an incredibly fast runner and a very dramatic dancer and I put that all in my younger years."
