Benidorm’s Tim Healy Rushed To Hospital

Tim Healy who plays the cross dresser Lesley in the hit ITV comedy Benidorm has been airlifted to hospital.

Benidorm‘s Tim Healy has been airlifted to a hospital in Manchester after becoming seriously ill in Spain. It believed that Mr Healy had been living in a Spanish clinic, before being moved the UK, after he fell ill during filming the latest series of Benidorm.

The 64-year-old star, who has appeared in Benidorm since 2010 has been left “fighting for his life” after a “mystery illness” meant that he was transferred to a hospital in Manchester from Spain.

His illness was so severe that he had to withdraw from completing his filming commitments in Benidorm.

A source told The Metro that his condition had improved and that doctors were keeping a “constant eye on him.”

He needed surgery for a condition called intermittent claudication, an illness which causes cramping due to blocked arteries.

He had surgery to remove blocked arteries in his legs in 2010.
