Bobby Davro, 65, is recovering from a minor stroke after collapsing during a live comedy show… eight months after the death of fiancée Vicky Wright

Bobby Davro is recovering from a minor stroke after falling ill and collapsing during a live show in Surrey last week.

The Aactor and comedian canceled all public appearances following his collapse at the Coulsdon Comedy club, south London, last Thursday evening.

Bobby had just come off stage after a standing ovation at the sold-out performance before suffering what he described as a “funny twist.”.

A source said The sun: 'His condition has improved greatly and he is now resting at home. It's clear he's feeling much better as Bobby described the proximity to the hospital and the excellent care he received there as 'a real stroke of luck.'

It has been reported that the star will have to rest for two weeks and will be back on stage on February 4.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Bobby for comment.

Davro, 65, was back at work the day after fiancée Vicky Wright died following a short battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 63 last May.

Davro was left devastated when his partner – the daughter of legendary England captain Billy Wright and Beverley Sisters singer Joy Beverley – passed away on May 4.

The light entertainer later shared a post expressing his sadness over Vicky's passing, which he described as “devastating.”

He wrote: 'It's been just over a week since my beautiful @vickywright5459 left this world and only now do I feel strong enough to share my feelings.

'I would like to thank everyone for their support and expressions of love and kindness that you have shown to me and Vicky's family and loved ones…

“It is devastating and incredibly painful to think that we will never hear her voice, hear her laughter, look into her beautiful eyes, see her smile, hold her and kiss her.

“She will forever be in my thoughts and in my heart. She was my Schluffe and I loved her and always will.”

Davro then shared a photo of Vicky and wrote: 'I will miss you very much and love you forever. RIP my beautiful Schluffe. No more pain baby. No more pain.'

Just one day after Vicky died, he returned to work performing – while vowing to perform through the pain so as not to disappoint his fans who had bought tickets to see him perform.

Despite his grief, Davro took to the stage at the Tivoli Theater in Wimborne on May 5 to perform four shows for his friend Jim Davidson's online comedy channel Ustreme.

Davidson took to his YouTube channel to confirm Bobby's appearance, praising the fellow showbiz legend for being a “trooper” who knows the show must go on.

The former Big Break presenter said: 'We have to say goodbye to Vicky Wright. It's a sad old age. I'm here in Wimborne at the Tivoli Theater on the set of Ustream's Left, Right and Centre, the award-winning panel show, and I'm sitting in Miles Crawford's chair and we're all a bit quiet today.

'Not only because we miss our friend Vicky Wright, but because her fiancé Bobby Davro shows up in 15 minutes, he knows he's committed to appearing on these shows.

“He obviously didn't come yesterday, and I was in it and Robert Hart was in it, but Bobby – the old trooper – he wiped away the tears and he's back today to record four shows here at the Tivoli Theater in Wimborne.

'Tickets are on sale, we have two shows this afternoon and two shows from 7.30pm and we are all thinking a bit about Vicky.'

Davro had previously discussed Vicky's battle with cancer and admitted it had been 'horrifying and extremely painful' to see the love of his life become so ill.

He said: 'To see someone as beautiful as her with this disease is devastating. It's so sad. It's extremely, extremely, extremely painful…

'My best advice for anyone in a similar position is that laughter is the best medicine.

“I always remember this quote: 'Don't let the world change your smile – let your smile change the world.'

The comedian also admitted to “drinking, smoking and not taking care of myself” while watching his fiancée lose her battle with cancer.

Davro added that he had been suffering from extreme 'stress' since Vicky was diagnosed with the disease.

He was speaking on a podcast called Eyes And Teeth, hosted by comic ventriloquist Steve Hewlett, recorded a few days before Vicky's death.

“I drink, I smoke, I don't take care of myself,” he said. 'I have a little sadness in my life; Unfortunately, my dear fiancée has been diagnosed with cancer and that has caused a lot of stress.'

He added: “I haven't done much social networking because obviously I've had some private issues with my fiancé and it's been hard.

“So I haven't really had a chance to do much social networking, but I'm going to try to find someone who can help me so I can get the word out.”

Davro had revealed his partner's pancreatic cancer diagnosis to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper in April, days before Vicky's death was confirmed by her daughter Kelly.

She wrote: 'Hello everyone… Incredibly devastating news to share…

'My wonderful mother Vicky sadly passed away this morning. I wanted to use this platform to let you all know because I know how much she appreciated all your love and support in so many ways.”

Davro proposed to Vicky in 2022 after 12 years of dating on and off.

Her father Billy Wright, who spent his entire football career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, died in 1994 from the same form of cancer.

She performed as a singer and actress, following in the footsteps of her mother Joy Beverley, one third of the Beverley Sisters.

Vicky also took to the stage to perform a one-woman show about her father called Billy Wright Story.
