msc 18,480 Posted January 22, 2018 Quote The report began to circulate on social media around 9pm but, shortly afterwards, Robert Holmes told the ECHO: "I have just spoken to Ken on the phone from his hospital bed. He is philosophical about what's happened, but the important thing to stress is that he is continuing to make slow and steady progress." Must have been checking out his DDP team when he found out. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
