Dynasty star fights coma bug
DYNASTY star Christopher Cazenove was recovering last night after being taken critically ill with septicaemia.
The actor, 66, was left fighting for his life and in a coma when struck down with the potentially fatal infection.
Yesterday it emerged the Old Etonian has been ill in St Thomas’ Hospital, London, for two weeks and is no longer in a coma.
Cazenove, most famous for his role as Ben Carrington in the Eighties soap, is believed to have been taken ill at his London home after a business trip to California.
His ex-wife former actress Angharad Rees, 60, has been at his bedside, along with their son Ryss, 33.
Cazenove has been in a seven-year relationship with Isabelle Davies – about 30 years his junior.
Last night his agent said: “He’s making a slow but steady recovery. He has been very poorly.”
