Disgraced Sydenham entertainer Rolf Harris has reportedly been rushed to hospital with suspected blood poisoning.
The 86-year-old Animal Hospital star and convicted paedophile is said to have been moved from his cell at Stafford prison to receive medical treatment.
A source told The Sun: "Harris was treated like any other prisoner in the circumstances.
"He was escorted from Stafford by prison officers and has been monitored at all times.
"He is likely to return to jail shortly."
Harris became a household name as the presenter of Animal Hospital
It is thought the former Rolf on Art presenter may be suffering from sepsis, which can be life-threatening without proper treatment.
The native Australian is serving a six-year sentence at Stafford Prison for sex offences against four girls, one aged just seven or eight.
He will go on trial for further charges in January next year.
