EastEnders star's wife is rushed to hospital as she's left unable to speak hours before family holiday
EastEnders star Ricky Champ's wife Sammy was rushed to hospital as she was left unable to speak and with swollen eyes just hours before they were due to go on family holiday. Sammy shares two children with the actor, who played Stuart Highway in the iconic soap from 2018 to 2022, and has been suffering from an ongoing health issue. And with just hours before she was supposed to meet her acting husband at Disney, she was left with swollen eyes and was forced to get medical help. In a Story shared to Instagram, Sammy shared a snap of her sore-looking eyes and her swollen lips as her skin broke out into hives. Alongside the post, she penned: 'What is the absolute one thing you don't need to happen the day before you fly to Disney when you need to go shopping/ pack/clean/do that's right, wake up with your lips so swollen you can't speak and eyes swollen shut so you're in A&E at 7am. 'One of the side effects of my gallstones and liver is severe hives all over my body every single morning that go away by bedtime then I wake up and it starts all over again. 'Something due to the toxins etc (still not considered urgent though, still been told need to wait a year + for an op).' After seeking medical advice, Sammy revealed her face had returned to normal and was no longer swollen ahead of their trip to France. Ricky was one of five cast members to be written out of EastEnders in 2022. Stuart was at the centre of a father's post-natal depression storyline, with the character struggling to bond with his baby Roland. He had struggled with his mental health after his diagnosis with breast cancer and he is having trouble adjusting to parenthood after he and wife Rainie (Tanya Franks) tried for a child for a long time. Ricky first set foot in Albert Square back in 2018 and has landed a spell of intense storylines, including confessing to accidentally killing DI Steve Thompson (Philip Wright) - who later turned out be alive. He also admitted to being a vigilante paedophile hunter which stemmed from being sexually abused as a child. The actor's additional ventures include his role as Paul Parker in the BBC Three sitcom Him & Her and a Games Of Thrones appearance as Gatins. Ricky was one of five cast members to be written out of EastEnders in 2022. Stuart was at the centre of a father's post-natal depression storyline, with him struggling to bond with his baby Ricky filmed his final scenes as Stuart late in 2022. 'In EastEnders I went from villain to hero to dad,' he told Digital Spy at the time of his exit. 'It was amazing, doing that for five years with a character's arc. It felt weird leaving him,' he admitted. Ricky hasn't ruled out a return to the soap someday, as he claimed that anything is possible. 'He didn't die. He rode off into the sunset. I think he's somewhere in the North Circular living with Rainie,' he said of his character.

A senior surgeon appointed to tackle Northern Ireland's health waiting lists has said the delays are "nothing short of a national shame".The lists are at an all-time high with some specialities recording the highest number of patients and waits across the Mark Taylor acknowledged that it would be a "long-term challenge", but said he would work "tirelessly" with his health service colleagues to turn things Clinical Director for Elective Care, his appointment is the first time someone has been directly tasked with tackling the problem. More than half a million people are on lists to have their first consultation with a longest outpatient waiting list is for general surgery, followed by ENT (Ears, Nose and Throat) treatment and gynaecology, however, almost every treatment specialism list has grown."The minister has spoken previously about being at the foothills on it," Prof Taylor said."I will be devoting all my energies to it and I know colleagues will be doing the same." "There are many vital facets to the ongoing drive for elective care recovery in NI – including reform, investment, improved productivity and reducing clinical variance," said Health Minister Mike Nesbitt."The overriding goal, of course, has to be to get many more people off waiting lists," the minister appointment is a similar approach to NHS England where a new government initiative is sending top doctors into support health trusts where more people are waiting for treatment and out of may be a result of the recent appointment of Mike Farrar as Permanent Secretary at the Department of Health (DoH).Mr Farrar previously worked for NHS England and would have knowledge of the benefits of having clinical specialists taking the lead on waiting list is a targeted approach, and data shows it is making a difference. Analysis from BBC News NI Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly:Mark Taylor is facing a Herculean people have been waiting 9 years on a list, sadly many have died while it is not all about the money, it's also about having a stable workforce to staff hospital theatres 24/ the moment, the workforce is in parts fragile and few hospitals, excluding perhaps the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen, has vacant hospital this stage what is not clear is just how much the independent sector will be employed and if the hospital system will be on full power seven days a the most achievable aspect of all this is communicating with need to be able to plan their lives and told realistically when their operation or procedure will take this appointment is a success will depend if Prof Taylor is given the authority to make his own what is unclear if targets aren't met and lists not cleared, who will be held to account - Mark Taylor or the health minister?For now, Mark Taylor has stepped up to the plate - a keen cyclist - he's aware there are hills to climb and difficult conditions to navigate. Tackling hospital waits was listed as a priority in the Programme for Government with up to £215m earmarked for elective care initiatives in this financial year. The funding covers three categories and includes; £85m for red flag and time critical care, £80m for building up capacity to "address the long standing mismatch with demand" and up to £50m to start tackling the backlog in Elective Care Framework plan to tackle waiting lists was published in June 2021, updated in 2024 and in May a funding plan was to the DoH, since 2022 there have been some improvements in the treatment waiting lists - that means once people get into the system and are seen by a consultant, their treatment plan tends to have less of a delay.
