Chris Tarrant suffers mini-stroke on 11-hour flight

Chris Tarrant suffered a mini-stroke during an 11-hour flight from Thailand, where he had been filming a new Channel 5 TV show.

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? presenter was taken to hospital from Heathrow airport and has been there for over a week, his agent and manager Paul Vaughan confirmed.


"They found a clot which they managed to break up," Vaughan told The Sun .


"It was a clot in the leg and that can immediately go to the brain or lungs."


He added: "He is determined to leave hospital. But he's not going back to work. This is a nasty wake-up call."


Though Tarrant was initially thought to have suffered an asthma attack on the March 1 incident, it was later confirmed that he had developed a blood clot in his leg.


He has since developed bronchitis and remains at Charing Cross Hospital, but has made daytime trips to his London home.
