The drama didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling. Former EastEnders star Ricky Champ’s wife, Sammy Gilbert, has been rushed to the hospital following terrifying complications from a long-standing health condition — and it struck just as the family was set for a dream Disney trip.
🚨 “Swollen Shut” — A Sudden Medical Scare
Sammy, a lifestyle influencer and mum-of-two, took to Instagram with raw, emotional updates. Her face was visibly swollen, eyes nearly sealed shut, and lips so inflamed she could barely speak. “In A&E at 7am,” she shared, heartbreakingly.
Her gallstones and liver condition cause severe hives daily — a reaction tied to internal toxins. Despite the alarming symptoms, Sammy revealed she’s still facing a year-plus wait for surgery.
🛑 Disney Trip Derailed
“What’s the one thing you don’t need to happen the day before you fly to Disney?” Sammy asked followers. With packing, shopping, and travel prep derailed by a medical emergency, the family’s much-anticipated vacation now hangs in the balance.
🧬 “Not Urgent” Yet Debilitating
Sammy’s gallbladder and liver issues have triggered intense immune reactions. Though the condition affects her daily and dramatically, she’s still classified as non-urgent. The frustration is real — and fans are rallying around the Champ family.
🎭 Ricky Champ’s On-Screen Farewell
Best known as Stuart Highway, Ricky exited EastEnders in 2022 after a dramatic journey involving breast cancer and postnatal depression. His final scenes with Tanya Franks’ Rainie saw the duo riding out of Walford in stolen hearse style — a chaotic, emotional goodbye.
Since then, Ricky’s appeared in Piglets and on stage in 2:22 A Ghost Story.
