Top showman recovering in hospital after heart attack

Popular showman and producer Allister Hood is “recovering well” in hospital after suffering a heart attack.

The 63-year-old had recently returned from a judging trip to Australia, where he officiated at the Grand National Finals in Sydney.

He was taken ill at home near Diss, Norfolk, last week and was first admitted to West Suffolk Hospital. He was later transferred to the Royal Papworth, which specialises in heart conditions, but is hoping to be released in the next few days.
