Ex EastEnder recovering after health scare
Former 'EastEnders' star Todd Carty has been discharged from hospital after a health scare, which saw him become "violently sick" while on stage at the weekend.
According to the BBC, the 44-year-old actor, who played Mark Fowler in 'EastEnders', became ill during a performance of 'The Business of Murder' at The Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire on Saturday.
Carty's agent Derek Webster later spoke to BBC News 24, saying that the actor became "violently sick" on stage and was taken to hospital as a result.
Webster said: "It might have had something to do with an ear infection that Todd has been suffering from for a few days now - I can't actually confirm that."
"He did collapse on stage, he was violently sick. The theatre staff brought the curtain down, rushed him to the Stevenage hospital."
Webster later said: "He was kept in hospital overnight for tests but was released yesterday. All is well and he will be back at work tomorrow filming a new TV show."
Carty, who shot to fame as Tucker Jenkins in 'Grange Hill', also recently played PC Gabriel Kent in 'The Bill'.

TV series to search for top disabled model
The BBC is to launch a TV talent search for disabled models.
'Britain's Missing Top Model' will see eight women compete before a panel of industry experts.
The five-part series aims "to challenge preconceived notions of beauty". The winner will land a spread in a women's glossy magazine, shot by one of the world's top fashion photographers.
BBC3 controller Danny Cohen said: "This series aims to challenge the artificial boundaries that seem to exist in the beauty and fashion industries.
"It would be great if in the future we began to see more disabled models gracing the covers of the world's magazines."
The competition is open to disabled women aged between 18 and 30.
It has a similar format to 'America's Next Top Model', which was hosted by Tyra Banks. The eight finalists will live together in an apartment and complete a different challenge each week.
Industry experts will train them for photoshoots, location work and the catwalk.
The series will be supported by Ouch, the BBC's disability website, and is being made in consultation with Disability Action in Islington, North London.
