Sandi Toksvig has cancelled her tour after becoming seriously ill in Australia.
Sandi Toksvig hospitalised in Australia
The 64-year-old presenter was struck down with bronchial pneumonia while on tour in the country and her representatives say that the priority now is get her home to the UK.
Sandi's team wrote on Twitter: "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."
Bronchial pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that affects the bronchi in the lungs.
It usually results from a bacterial infection, but viral and fungal infections can also cause it. Symptoms can include coughing, difficulty breathing, and fever.
The former 'Great British Bakeoff' presenter began her tour on Saturday 12 November.
She was due to perform three shows in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland from December 4 to 6.
Before jetting off for her tour, Sandi said: "I am thrilled to finally come down to Australia and New Zealand to perform my new show for my fans down under.
"It has been a perilous time for live performance, but I am thrilled to be back on the boards. And leaving our winter for an Australian summer is a bonus, I can’t wait."
