Bobby Davro is recovering after suffering a stroke
The 65-year-old actor, who had appeared on 'EastEnders' as Vinnie Monks, suffered what he described as a "funny turn" after coming off stage at the Sutton Comedy club in London last Thursday (18.01.24) night but is now said to be feeling "much better".
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "His condition has greatly improved and he's now resting at home.
"Clearly he's feeling much better as Bobby described his proximity to the hospital and the excellent care he received there as 'a real stroke of luck.'"
Due to the stroke, Bobby was forced to cancel all of his upcoming performances whilst he recovers.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Bobby was taken unwell during a gig last week in Surrey. Everyone in the crowd were hugely concerned about him. Bobby has now cancelled his upcoming gigs and is taking some time out. He has been struggling since the loss of his fiancee Vicky last year but threw himself into work to try and keep his mind off it."
The 'Copycats' star had been in a relationship with Vicky Wright, 63, for 12 years, and was due to marry her but, she passed away last year after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Taking to X (formally Twitter) shortly after her passing, Bobby wrote: "It's been just over a week since my beautiful @vickywright5459 left this world and its only now I feel strong enough to share my feelings.
"I want to thank everyone for their support and expressions of love and kindness you have shown me and Vicky's family and loved ones ...
"To think we will never hear her voice to hear laughter look into her beautiful eyes see her smile to hold her and to kiss her is devastating and so incredibly painful. (sic)"
