The Frasier star – who was hospitalised two months ago after having a heart attack – was kept in the medical centre overnight because doctors were worried about his irregular heartbeat which he has had since taking medication following the attack.

Kelsey’s representative said: “He felt a little faint. The doctors think there needs to be a change in the medication, so they are going to keep him overnight to observe.”

After his hospitalisation on 2 June, the 53-year-old actor – who is in New York promoting his new movie Swing Vote – explained doctors had to use a defibrillator to revive him after the near-fatal incident.

He said: “It actually wasn’t very mild. They had to blast me twice and get me started all over again.”

Father-of-four Kelsey added in the interview he was “doing fine”.

Kelsey stars in Swing Vote alongside Kevin Costner and Dennis Hopper.
