TV personality Stephen Mulhern was dining out at Pizza Express after an operation earlier that day when he reportedly ‘reacted badly’ to a few drinks.
An ambulance was called by concerned staff for the 47-year-old – who also recently lost his father – after he fell unwell and he was taken by paramedics to nearby Frimley Park hospital in Camberley, Surrey.
A source told The Sun: ‘Stephen has been going through an incredibly tough time of late. He is grieving the loss of his dad to whom he was so, so close.
‘He’s also been battling several well-documented health problems, and on Wednesday morning had a procedure requiring a local anaesthetic.
‘He took himself off for a quiet, solo dinner that evening, had a few drinks and just reacted incredibly badly. He’s only human, and his dad’s death has hit him hard.’
According to the insider, Mulhern is now recovering at home and ‘is mortified that he had such an awful — and public — reaction to the anaesthetic.’
