Anita Dobson has shared a major health update about her husband Brian May, who suffered a stroke in September.

Dobson, 75, who has been married to the British musician since 2000 and is best known for playing Angie Watts in EastEnders, said May is now “stable” and was well enough to travel to Lapland over the festive season. She added: “Brian is stable now. Brian has never been happier since we moved. For me it’s been a curveball as I’m a London girl born and bred so going to the countryside to a house that needs a lot of work was a bit of a shock.”.

Dobson and May opted to leave the city for their three-storey home in Windlesham, Surrey while the musician recuperated following his health scare. “To see what it has done to Brian...he loves it,” Dobson reflected. “He loves the birds and the animals. He feeds all the birds and the badgers, foxes and pheasants.”.
The Doctor Who star – who is confirmed to feature in the forthcoming series – said despite her busy acting career and the couple’s hopes to visit friends in Switzerland, their main plan is to keep “chilling” at home. “It makes you realise that at any minute it could be you,” Dobson reflected on May’s health scare, adding they are taking “each day as it comes”.
