Sir Ken On The Mend

Veteran comic Sir Ken Dodd has said it is “wonderful” to be leaving hospital after six weeks of treatment for a severe chest infection.

The 90-year-old comedian was admitted to Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital on 12 January and returned home on Tuesday.

Sir Ken, whose career stretches back nearly 60 years, said: “I have been so very well treated and I can’t praise the staff at the hospital too highly.

“And the porridge here is remarkable.”

“I thought I was Mr Happiness and all of a sudden just before Christmas – bang,” he said.

Sir Ken thanked the NHS and nurses who cared for him and said he was now feeling “wonderful”, adding: “It’s a beautiful day for going home.”

While in hospital, the Liverpool funnyman said he was honoured to be visited by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, adding: “The love and affection of people has made me cry.”
