Former Great British Bake Off host Sandi Toksvig has been hospitalised with pneumonia in Australia.
The 64-year-old comedian has been forced to cancel her upcoming tour dates in New Zealand after she came down ill on the Aussie stretch of the tour.
A spokesperson for the star said: "Due to illness, Sandi has cancelled the New Zealand leg of her tour.
"She has been admitted to hospital with bronchial pneumonia while still in Australia and is unable to travel & perform.
"Our main priority is getting her home to the UK as soon as she is well enough - Team Toksvig."
During her last gig in Sydney on Monday, Toksvig had told the audience that she had been feeling unwell.
