During a recent gig in Surrey, EastEnders star Bobby was taken ill, leading him to cancel his upcoming gigs.

“Bobby was taken unwell during a gig last week in Surrey,” a source told The Sun. “Everyone in the crowd were hugely concerned about him. Bobby has now cancelled his upcoming gigs and is taking some time out,” they then continued. “He has been struggling since the loss of his fiancee Vicky last year but threw himself into work to try and keep his mind off it,” they then added.

Clearly he’s feeling much better as Bobby described his proximity to the hospital and the excellent care he received there as ‘a real stroke of luck’.

Earlier today (January 25), it was reported by The Sun that Bobby actually collapsed after suffering a minor stroke. He had just come off stage after a sell-out show. He’s now been told to take it easy for two weeks.

A source claimed: “His condition has greatly improved and he’s now resting at home. Clearly he’s feeling much better as Bobby described his proximity to the hospital and the excellent care he received there as ‘a real stroke of luck’.”

Death of Bobby Davro’s partner

Last year, Bobby’s fiancée, Vicky Wright, sadly died following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

During an interview with The Sun at the time, Bobby revealed that he’d proposed to Vicky the day before her chemotherapy began.

“I have to forgive the universe for taking her away from me, but the engagement was one of the best days of her life,” he said.

He then opened up about the grief.

“You go through so much. I felt sad and then I felt two days of anger. I kicked my furniture and was so bad-tempered. Memories come up and just slap you in the face,” he said.

“It really hurts, coming to terms with the fact I can’t hear her laugh anymore, I can’t smell her perfume, look at her beautiful eyes.”

Bobby on grief

Appearing on Lorraine in July 2023, Bobby opened up about his grief following Vicky’s death.

“To see somebody suffer from that dreadful disease, it really took it out of me,” he said.

“You go through so many different feelings, it’s relief because they’re no longer suffering and then you have that sadness and then you have that anger, then guilt and then sadness – it’s just learning to live with it,” he then continued.

“You take each day as it comes and positivity!”
