CARTY COLLAPSES DURING PLAY

British actor TODD CARTY is recovering in hospital after collapsing onstage. The EastEnders star, 44, was performing in The Business Of Murder in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, when he suddenly became "violently sick", passed out, and was rushed to a local emergency room. His agent Derek Webster says, "It might have had something to do with an ear infection that Todd has been suffering from for a few days now - I can't actually confirm that. "He did collapse on stage, he was violently sick. The theatre staff brought the curtain down, rushed him to the Stevenage hospital. "He's undergoing tests, there's not much more that we can say, other than that he's well, he's awake and he's conscious and his wife is with him."
