Peep Show star Matt King has said he was left paralysed after experiencing a “rare stroke” last weekend.

The actor, comedian and DJ, 58, portrayed Super Hans in the hit Channel 4 sitcom between 2003 and 2015.

Writing on social media today (Thursday April 30), King confirmed that he’d been hospitalised due to his recent health issue. “It’s true. I had a rare stroke of the spinal cord on Sunday,” he told his followers.

“I was initially paralysed but was rushed to The Royal Sussex [County Hospital] and the staff have been amazing. Can walk again, a bit.”

Referencing a popular Peep Show scene , in which his drug-addled character “accidentally runs to Windsor”, he added: “My legs were jelly, man. It didn’t feel fucking brilliant. Thank you for all the love and kindness.”

King shared the update alongside a photo of himself in a hospital bed.…
