Chris Tarrant 'suffered mini-stroke on 11-hour flight'
Chris Tarrant has spent a week in hospital after suffering a mini-stroke on an 11-hour plane journey, his agent has told The Sun.
The Who Want to be Millionaire presenter, 67, was rushed from Heathrow Airport to hospital in West London after falling ill on a plane from Burma.
At first doctors thought he had suffered an asthma attack, before discovering a potentially fatal blood clot in his leg.
Tarrant's agent Paul Vaughan told the paper (£): “The doctor describes it as a mini stroke, probably brought on by the asthma and bronchitis on the plane. They found a clot which they managed to break up."
He added: “He is determined to leave hospital. But he’s not going back to work. This is a nasty wake-up call.”
Simon and Cheryl talk of their X Factor return
Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole have spoken of their return to X Factor after their well-documented fall-out.
The pair fell out in 2011 after Cowell sacked Cole from the American version of the show after only three weeks as a judge.
She had only filmed one episode before being dropped by Cowell and the incident soured relations between the pair.
Speaking to Daybreak, Simon said: "I have done this a long time. You have fall-outs along the way. I held my hands up and said I made a mistake and I was sorry - and I was sorry. Then when I decided to come back, I also decided I had to have Cheryl back on the show with me."
Cheryl explained how she finally gave in to Simon's pleas to return to the ITV show: "There's only so much begging one can take and it's not nice to see a grown man cry, so I finally succumbed."
It is yet to be confirmed which other judges will be joining the pair on the show's panel.
