COMEDIAN Bobby Davro has cancelled all his upcoming shows after being taken ill during a gig.

The 65-year-old was at the Coulsdon Comedy Club in Croydon, South London, when he was taken ill on Thursday night.

Also booked to perform this Thursday at the House of Stand Up in Sutton, an announcement said comic Milton Jones, 59, would replace him "due to illness".

Bobby has struggled since losing his beloved fiancee Vicky Wright to cancer last May aged 63. They had been together for more than 12 years.
