Qi host Sandi Toksvig has been hospitalisd in Australia after becoming infected with bronchial pneumonia.

Toksvig, 64, had been touring Australia and New Zealand when she fell ill with the respiratory illness.

Pneumonia inflames the air sacs in the lungs which may then become filled with fluid. It can be serious for people over 65 and even life threatening for those with health problems or weakened immune systems.

The Herald Sun reports she took to the stage at Sydney’s State Theatre on Monday and had been due to perform in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Sunday. She also recently feqatured on Frankly.

“Due to illness, Sandi has cancelled the New Zealand leg of her tour,” said a statement from “Team Toksvig” to her 344,000 Twitter followers on Saturday afternoon.

“She has been admitted to hospital with bronchial pneumonia while still in Australia and is unable to travel and perform.

“Our main priority is getting her home to the UK as soon as she is well enough”.

Get well soon!

  1. Hope she get better soon, and i hope she get the pneumococcal vaccine when she recovers. A lot of people are unaware there is a vaccine available under the National Immunisation Program in Australia, I had mine because I’m diabetic and it was free. Nothing beats prevention.
