Former Coronation Street actor Charlie Lawson has told his social media followers he is back in hospital as he updated them on his mysterious health worries

Coronation Street legend Charlie Lawson has revealed he has had to return to hospital days after his last health scare.

The actor, 65, was rushed to hospital earlier in the week after discovering a worrying symptom. Charlie took to social media to share a video from his hospital bed, where he was undergoing examinations after falling twice. The actor explained he had had an MRI and was waiting on more examinations.

Now, after being initially sent home, Charlie is back in the hospital and shared an update with his followers. On Twitter/X, he said: “Well hello folks, from a rather, erm, well I’m not sure what it’s doing outside.

“It was rather nice when I came in, but here I am again in special day care in Macclesfield hospital waiting to see an osteopath and hopefully getting a transfer to Salford Royal to the spinal unit.

“That’s the plan, but I was talking to you last time from the same cubicle and I ended up back at home at half ten at night so we shall wait and see.”

He then told followers he is “fine” before saying he “simply can’t walk properly”. “[I’m in] great pain,” he added. “I can’t stand on my tip toes now so, yeah, this is very comfortable but if I stand up I just fall over so there’s something seriously gone wrong, so i’ll keep you posted. Cheerio now!”

He captioned the upload: “Encore une fois!!!,” which translates to one more time.

Users were quick to send well wishes in the comments section. One follower wrote: “Best wishes for a speedy recovery @charlie_lawson1. Hope they get to the bottom of what’s going on this time,” with a fingers crossed emoji.

“They’ve whisked me back in for more examinations so it’s not going awfully well at the moment. Anyway, I’ll keep you updated.
