Former EastEnders favourite Bobby Davro is set to return to the stage after a terrifying health scare in January, with the comedian due to appear at the Edinburgh Fringe
A former EastEnders star is set to make a showbiz comeback after being out of the spotlight since January. Actor Bobby Davro, famed for playing Vinnie Monks in the BBC One soap, suffered a terrifying health scare at the start of the year and has been recovering at home over the past four months following a hospital stay.
"With the laughter still ringing in my ears from the couple of Edinburgh gigs I did last Summer, I thought I'd come back and do the full run this year. I hope to prove two things – you're never too old for a good gag and everything is funny if you can laugh at it. The 65 year old actor suffered a minor stroke after fainting at a comedy show in January. He has admitted the health scare was a "wake up call" as doctors informed him his blood pressure was dangerously high and the stroke left him slurring.
The star's health woes come after he lost his longterm partner Vicky Wright in May 2023. Vicky, who was the daughter of late footballer Billy Wright, had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
