Sir Rod Stewart surprised TV viewers today offering to pay for NHS patients to get private medical scans live on TV. The musician called Sky News this afternoon (January 26) to make the generous offer.
He surprised news reader Sarah-Jane Mee by phoning the live show to offer to help patients. He said he came to the decision after discovering the private health clinic he attends was empty.
Sir Rod said: "I have been watching the programme all day and yes, I went for my yearly scan which is private, obviously, and I was 20 minutes late. I phoned in and I said, 'I'm terribly sorry I will be there. I will be half an hour late.' I get there and I said, 'I'm so sorry I am late'.
