You picture sports stars as being a vision of health, but a shocking new health documentary has blown that out of the water.
Former footballer Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock has reportedly been warned by doctors that he could “drop dead” any second, after he underwent tests for an ITV show.
According to The Mirror, Neil, 50, – who used to play for England and also starred on I’m A Celeb and Celeb Big Brother – was given the shocking news during filming of Harry Redknapp’s new two-part documentary special, Harry’s Heroes.
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner plays host to a group of nineties football players – including David Seaman, Robbie Fowler, Mark Wright, Matt le Tissier, Chris Waddle, Rob Lee, Ray Parlour, Lee Sharpe, Mark Chamberlain and Paul Merson – who have all been tasked with getting fit enough to play a German football team.
But Harry, 72, was apparently concerned about his friend Neil’s health ahead of training, and sent him to see a heart specialist.
