EastEnders actor Bobby Davro has reportedly been taken ill during a gig and has now had to cancel appearances.
The 65-year-old is said to be struggling following his fiancée Vicky Wright’s death last year.
‘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.’
Bobby was set to perform at the House of Stand Up in South London’s Sutton, but the venue announced on X, formerly Twitter, that Milton Jones would be replacing him at an upcoming January 25 gig.
‘He has been struggling since the loss of his fiancée Vicky last year but threw himself into work to try and keep his mind off it,’ the source concluded.

Wright was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died in May 2023.
After her death, Bobby wrote: ‘To think we will never hear her voice to hear laughter look into her beautiful eyes see her smile to hold her and to kiss her is devastating and so incredibly painful.
‘She will be in my thoughts and in my heart forever. She was my Schluffe and I loved her and always will.’
Wright was the daughter of late England captain Billy Wright and Beverley Sisters singer Joy Beverley.
They first met in 2003, and in December 2022 Bobby popped the question to his late wife-to-be.
Bobby played Vinnie Monks in EastEnders, and was a King of Saturday night TV in the 1980s hosting Bobby Davro on the Box, Bobby Davro’s TV Annual and Bobby Davro’s TV Weekly.
