Springwatch: Chris Packham tells viewers to ‘behave themselves’<\/h3>\n

Iolo Williams has admitted that he suffered an “unexpected” heart attack which forced him to drop out of BBC’s Springwatch.<\/p>\n

The 61-year old suffered major complications after he underwent surgery to fix a stent in an artery in April.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the BBC Radio Cymru, he revealed: “I had a heart attack and it was very unexpected.<\/p>\n

“I keep fit, I’ve been playing rugby ever since I was 45, I run two to three times a week.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I was running along the canal and then I had a heart attack out of nowhere. I had to miss out on Springwatch, I had three weeks and a half back home. After three weeks and a half, I thought I couldn’t stay at home any longer so I went back to work.<\/p>\n

“Fair play at the start, my wife was cautious, she would tell me: ‘don’t pick that up, or don’t pick that up, just sit down and rest’.<\/p>\n

“But after those three weeks and a half, she even turned to me and said: ‘when are you going back to work?’, because we went on each others’ nerves while stuck in the house.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, he announced that he was undergoing surgery and would not be presenting on BBC Springwatch this year.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, formally known as Twitter, he penned: “Unfortunately I can\u2019t co-present @BBCSpringwatch this year. I had a stent inserted in April, which released a clot that, this week, caused an embolysm!<\/p>\n
