Dame Prue Leith's husband, retired fashion designer John Playfair, called medics in Yorkshire when the 'Great British Bake Off' star suddenly lost part of her vision and began speaking in jumbled sentences, fearing she was having a stroke. The 86-year-old was rushed by ambulance to Harrogate Hospital, where scans later confirmed it was a severe migraine rather than a stroke, Leith revealed in her 'Prue's News' column for The Oldie.
She said half her sight disappeared before her speech turned into what she described as an 'incomprehensible jumble of disconnected words'. Playfair, fearing the worst, sought urgent medical help.
