BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast show co-host Nicky Campbell missed his programme Tuesday morning after being taken ill at home and admitted to Salford Royal Hospital.
In a tweet, Nicky Campbell said: “Good morning from Salford Royal Hospital where I was rushed last night after a kidney stone attack. Blimey. Some pain that! Amazing care from compassionate professionals.”
Chris Warburton was called in as a last minute substitute for Nicky and presented this morning’s show alongside Rachel Burden.
Rachel told listeners she had been in touch with Nicky and he was recovering well.
RadioToday’s take
Nothing to add but… Get well soon Nicky!
Best wishes to top broadcaster Nicky Campbell, for a very speedy recovery.
I second that emotion!
Get well soon Nicky !
Do we really need the picture?
Thank goodness he is still well enough to tweet.
Get well soon Nicky Campbell!
One of my pals is prone to kidney stone problems! He told me, “the most painful part of the disorder is passing the stone!” The bouts left my pal shattered for days!
Could you please let me know what is happening to Hear Radio?
Is it going off air or continuing to broadcast on another platform?
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Mr Darren Plumpton.
