David Walliams to undergo surgery
British comedian David Walliams won’t be able to work for some time as he prepares to undergo back surgery.
The medical condition arose after he damaged a disc during his swim along the River Thames.
The 42-year-old has been told by doctors that he needs to rest after going into hospital this week to fix a disc he tore during a charity swim in 2011.
“Unfortunately the operation on my back is long overdue. The doctors have ordered me to rest for the remainder of the year so I can recover,” he told mirror.co.uk.
