David Ames Rushed to Hospital for Kidney Stone Pain

David Ames, the actor known for his roles in Hollyoaks and Holby City, was hospitalized after waking up in 'absolute agony' with suspected kidney stones. Sharing his experience on Instagram, the 41-year-old posted a photo from his hospital bed, humorously commenting on a water-soluble lubricant used in his treatment. Despite his health scare, Ames expressed gratitude for the support he received from fans and donors for his fundraising efforts for Breast Cancer Now in preparation for the London Marathon. His character on Hollyoaks, Carter Shepherd, was involved in a controversial storyline about conversion therapy, where he faced repercussions for his actions. Ames reflected on the challenges of portraying a character with such a dark and layered narrative. The duration of his hospital stay remains unclear, but he appeared to be in good spirits following the outpouring of support.
