Paddy Doherty rushed to hospital after another health scare as fans rally around

Big Fat Gypsy Wedding's Paddy Doherty, 63, has suffered another health set-back as he told fans he is struggling to breathe after being struck down with Covid-19

Celebrity Big Brother winner Paddy Doherty is back in hospital after another worrying health set-back.

The Big Fat Gypsy Wedding favourite needed medial help again as he admitted he’s struggling to breathe after originally testing positive for Covid-19.

Hooked up to an oxygen mask in his hospital bed, the Irish star filmed a short video while wearing a blue hospital gown.

Paddy, 63, said: “Back again. It’s just my lungs are not too good just with Covid and that.”

But he then assured followers that he’ll “be all right” and said he hopes to be discharged at some point on Sunday.

His fans were quick to comment after the latest scare in what has been a tough few years for the former fighter.

“Get well soon Paddy!” one told him.

“Praying for you Paddy,” someone else said, as another told him they were “sending love and healing”.

It comes amid a number of health issues for the telly star.

After suffering a suspected heart attack just weeks before the death of his brother in May 2022, he needed weeks of care.

Paddy was rushed into hospital in spring, posting the worrying Facebook caption: “My heart I think... I had a heart attack. [Breathing] keeps being difficult. Heart attack I thought.”

He sounded slightly out of breath in the videos posted to his account, and claimed he had been stuck in a hospital corridor for two days as they didn't have the facilities to move him - and a group of other patients - to a ward.

But he was quick to reassure fans despite the oxygen mask: "There’s nothing wrong with me, I’m fantastic, I’ve just got this on… I’m in the hallway."

The star added alongside a video of the hallway: "Hats off to the doctors and nurses. The Government have let us all down."

He added: "The nurses and doctors, they’re in like machines. Let me tell you, they get no breather and they get no thanks. NHS they’re God’s angels. They fight with their heart and soul, and I’m going to say listen everyone, support them."

Paddy also announced the sad death of his brother Martin this year, though no cause was given.

He told fans: “Just letting yous all know, my brother died at quarter past eleven, ten minutes ago, you know what I mean?

"And he’s gone to God now, he’s with his daddy... God rest that man. God bless you, thank you."

Paddy looked heartbroken as he smoked a cigarette in the short clip, captioning the video: "RIP MY DEARLY LOVED BROTHER X."
