Dame Edna star Barry Humphries in 'stable' condition as hospital issues health update

The Sydney hospital where Australian comedy star Barry Humphries is currently being treated has rubbished reports that the 89-year-old is in an "unresponsive" state, as they issued a fresh health update on how he is doing following surgery complications.

The Dame Edna star is currently receiving treatment at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney, where they have said multiple reports which were published on Thursday were incorrect and that Barry was in fact “stable” and “in the best hands”.

Barry, best known for his character Dame Edna Everage, is being treated at the hospital after suffering “health issues” following hip surgery last month as a result of a fall he had taken back in February.
