Stewart in Health Scare
Last weekend, while filming in Manchester, Patrick Stewart attended
the Manchester Royal Infirmary Accident and Emergency department as
he was feeling unwell. He was given the all-clear by doctors. A spokeswoman
for the 64 year old actor said, "He was feeling unwell at the weekend
while filming. He got it checked out at the local A&E department
and he is absolutely fine. He was not taken by ambulance. He either
drove himself or was driven." She refused to confirm that he had
suffered chest pains and that he had been connected to an ECG machine
when there.
