Ross Kempβs Emotional Message After His Mum Is Taken To Hospital π
Actor and TV presenter Ross Kemp updated his followers on why he missed the World Cup game between England v France after his mother had been rushed to hospital
EastEnders star Ross Kemp told his followers that his mum had been rushed to hospital during the England v France World Cup match as the actor said some things are βmore important than footballβ.
The 61-year-old actor is known for his passionate commentary and analysis of the menβs national football team and has posted regularly on social media throughout the tournament.
He clarified to his 226k followers on Saturday night (July 18) thatΒ KempΒ would not be posting about the third-place playoffs due to health issues with his mum.
Kemp did not share details of what happened to his mother but reassured that she was βokayβ and βstableβ.
He said in a video shared on his Instagram story: βHuge thank you to the paramedics whoβve helped me get my mum to hospital tonight.
βClearly, I will not be posting about the football. That is not because I donβt care. I love England and I hope they win.
βBut there are some things like your mum that are more important than football. All right, come on, England, and weβll be back there in four yearsβ time, and hopefully weβll win it.
Following the match, which saw England beat France 6-4, he said: βThe good news is my mum is okay. Sheβs stable.
βEngland won the football and we beat the Argentinians at rugby in their own backyard, so not a bad result after all. Good night.β
The England team were just minutes away from reaching Sundayβs final but missed out after a 2-1 semi-final defeat against Argentina last week.
The team, however, ended on a high on Saturday night with the thrilling win which has become Englandβs best performance at the tournament since 1966.
The World Cup final kick-off is at 8pm UK time on Sunday and will see Spain face Argentina at New York New Jersey Stadium.
