Local wildlife expert and TV personality Iolo Williams has reaasured everyone that he's okay after posting a photo og himself in hospital.

He's revealed he been suffering a string of health problems that have forced him to pull out of presenting the BBC Springwatch this year.

Iolo has become one of television’s most recognisable faces after establishing himself as a superb co-presenter for numerous BBC and S4C programmes.

But he has been forced to take a break after posting a picture from his hospital bed on Twitter, explaining his situation.

“Unfortunately, I can’t co-present BBC Springwatch this year,” explained Iolo, 60. “I had a stent inserted in April, which released a clot, that, this week, caused an embolysm!

“My demise has been greatly exaggerated; thanks to brilliant friends, wonderful family & the excellent NHS.”

He then went on to wish his BBC colleagues well for the upcoming series.
