Beverley Callard, who announced earlier this year she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, lost consciousness on the set of her soap and an ambulance was called
An ambulance had to be called for Beverley Callard when she lost consciousness while on the set of her soap. She told fans: “An ambulance came. I desperately didn’t want go go to hospital.”
The actress, 69, announced earlier this year she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and relocated to Ireland around the same time so she could star as Lily Patterson in the RTE soap Fair City.
Beverley, who is best known for having starred as Rovers landlady Liz McDonald on Coronation Street for almost 30 years, has been keeping her fans up to date with her condition.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday night, she explained: “I’ve been at work this week, filming the most amazing scenes, really good, great scripts working with people who are so good, but good fun as well .
“And it was all going swimmingly, and then today, I’ve no idea what happened to me, but I was all ready to start a new scene with Emily, who plays my daughter, and we just sat there getting ready, about to run lines, and I lost consciousness for a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes, which was very odd.
“Because of protocol, they had to check me out and everything. An ambulance came. I desperately didn’t want go go to hospital.”
The former I’m A Celebrity… star, who recently completed radiotherapy but was told she would need more tests to do with her stomach, quickly recovered from the incident and was sent home to rest but is still none the wiser as to what had happened to her.
She said: “I recovered and felt fine again but I can’t explain what it was. I was boiling hot. I seemed to lose 10 minutes but I don’t know why. I was checked out by the ambulance men and everything and they were happy to let me come home as long as I rested.
“So I’ve got rest all weekend but now, I have to tell you, I feel a complete fraud because I’m home and I feel perfectly normal. The only thing that did happen was my blood pressure was through the roof but obviously I’ve not been right since the radiotherapy.
“But aside from that, I don’t know what’s going on . But I’m at the hospital again next week, so I’ll probably know more, and I’m awaiting the results of these other tests and the biopsies they’ve taken from my stomach.
“So, that’s it really. As I say, I feel a bit of a fraud, but the dogs know I’m poorly, they won’t leave me alone again. So, there we go. If anybody else has had this, please let me know, because I don’t know what’s going on with me at all. Lots of love.”
As always, the former Two Pints actress was inundated with support from her followers. One wrote: “Let [the hospital] know what happened. Loss of consciousness for 10 minutes is something they need to know about. Please don’t leave this until next week. Sending you love xx.”
Another said: “I think if you rest, you can’t help but feel like its beating you, but if you work, youre not resting enough! So all this is giving you even more anxiety.
“The thing is, at the end of the day, you know your body better than anyone else so only you can really hear and feel what its telling you. Do what feels right for you and take each day at a time. You’ll get through this Bev xx”
A third wrote: “Bless you Beverley. Have a restful weekend and sending you positive, happy wishes xxx,” and a fourth said: “Take care and rest more , your body is going through alot. You are a great actress Beverley.”
