Actor and comedian Robert Webb has opened up on the moment he was told he had a severe heart defect by doctors - and described his resulting surgery as a 'gift'
Robert Webb has described his heart surgery as a “gift” as it forced him to think about his health and put himself first.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs: “There were symptoms but I was too much of an idiot to notice. At the time I was drinking and smoking quite heavily. I was 47 and I thought this is just what it feels like to be 47 when you still treat your body like a skip. Webb, who married Abigail Burdess in 2006 and has two daughters, described that period of his life as a “rollercoaster”.
“I wasn’t thinking about work or money or fame or concerns about status or where I fit in in the great Lego cathedral of British comedy. It was about love.”
