Post Hammond was rushed to hospital

TOP Gear pixie Richard Hammond was this week rushed to hospital with appendicitis, TV Biz can reveal.

The Hamster – who cheated death in a 288 mile-an-hour crash in 2006 – checked into a top veterinary surgery, sorry, hospital after suffering severe stomach pains on Tuesday.

The 38-year-old was rushed into theatre for an emergency operation to remove his appendix.

The op went smoothly and docs discharged him from London’s University College Hospital yesterday afternoon.

A source said: “His tummy was grumbling for a few days but soon Richard started to feel terrible. It turned out he had appendicitis.”

The telly star is now recovering at home with wife Mindy and their kids.

Richard will be relieved to have such a short hospital stay – he spent five weeks there in 2006 after his big dragster crash during a Top Gear stunt.

However, despite suffering from post-traumatic amnesia, Richard has almost completely recovered. The Sun


Not so sure if this thread was posted somewhere here.. sorry! But from all people in Dubai, we wish Hamster to get well soon
