Famous people who have had a stroke

@Rups @wolfie @mrfrederickson @Sue1958 , I’m very surprised by that. I heard some had a stroke of some kind but, I didn’t know it was these people. I wonder who else? :thinking:

Eamonn Holmes had a stroke on Tuesday. He has already been struggling with mobility so I hope this doesn’t further impact him

@Rups , oh, I didn’t know about the programme. I must look out for it. I liked Harry when he was in the Goons show. Really funny.
