Comedian Vic Reeves has been rushed to hospital after collapsing at a friend's wedding in Dorset last weekend. The 67-year-old, whose real name is Jim Moir, had reportedly "overexerted himself" before the medical emergency occurred.
Incident at wedding
According to reports, the incident prompted "serious concern" among those in attendance. A source told the Mail that Reeves had been entertaining guests before suddenly appearing unwell.
"Vic was telling jokes and entertaining people - and obviously everyone was hitting the bar as the party went on just as you'd expect," the source said. "But suddenly it appeared to take a bit of a turn for the worse - there was a commotion in the middle of the group and staff were being asked to call for an ambulance which turned out to be for Vic who wasn't looking at all well. It all happened very quickly."
