Harry Redknapp's wife Sandra 'in hospital' as ITV racing pundit shares health update live on air
Harry Redknapp's wife Sandra has been hospitalised, according to a live update shared by racing presenter Matt Chapman. Chapman disclosed the information during a segment about King of Bears, the racehorse owned by the former football manager, amid ITV4's coverage from Great Yarmouth Racecourse. 'So, King of Bears, just to say Harry Redknapp will be watching this horse from his hospital bed, but not his bed, his missus Sandra is just being treated in hospital at the moment.' he told viewers. Chapman addressed the couple directly: 'Sandra, if you're listening in - I think she wanted to watch Emmerdale, but Harry's making her watch this race - I really hope King of Bears runs well. 'He's a character. He could win it, he could finish last, but he gives Jack Doughty a big chance for George Scott.' Details surrounding Sandra's condition and the reason for her hospitalisation have not yet been disclosed. However in the end, the King of Bears didn't win the race. Instead the 7/1 shot placed sixth. Sandra and Harry Redknapp have been married for 57 years, having first met as teenagers. The couple were just 17 when they started dating, and earlier this month, Harry marked their anniversary with a heartfelt tribute. He wrote: 'Where does the time go? I would be lost without you Sandra.' Now both 78, the pair told their love story in their joint memoir When Harry Met Sandra: Our Story, published in 2022. Their romance began with a date at the Two Puddings pub in East London back in 1963, eventually leading to marriage, two sons, Mark and Jamie, and a growing brood of grandchildren. Sandra stepped into the spotlight during Harry's winning stint on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, where his obvious devotion to her won over the nation. Then in 2022, Harry shared his fears after Sandra experienced serious breathing difficulties following a battle with Covid. Speaking to The Mirror, he said: 'The symptoms weren't good, if I'm truthful. You start to think about all kinds of sinister things. 'It's been a real worry. Sandra has suffered. Her voice had packed up and she was struggling for breath. Even swallowing food became difficult. She could choke on food easily if we weren't careful.' Sandra said of her health battle at the time: 'You don't realise what your vocal cords do until they're not working, because it affects breathing as well as talking. 'The shortness of breath was very difficult. My voice would vibrate and was very weak.' The Standard has contacted Harry Redknapp's rep for comment.
