Beverley Callard Loses Consciousness on Fair City Set

Paramedics checked her and she was sent home to rest while doctors await stomach biopsy results and a hospital follow-up next week.

Overview

  • Callard said she lost consciousness for several minutes while preparing to film a scene with her on‑screen daughter on Thursday and an ambulance was called as part of on‑set medical protocol.
  • Paramedics checked her on set, she declined hospital transport, and was advised to rest at home after reporting a period of feeling very hot and a spike in blood pressure.
  • The 69‑year‑old completed a course of radiotherapy for breast cancer in July and has reported ongoing nausea and feeling "not been right" since treatment.
  • She is awaiting the results of further tests, including biopsies taken from her stomach, and has a hospital appointment scheduled for next week to investigate the cause.
  • Callard has asked anyone with similar experiences to contact her, and the outcome of upcoming tests will determine whether she pauses work on Fair City while she recovers.
