Neighbours star Kym Valentine has been rushed to hospital.

The 33-year-old actress, who plays Libby Kennedy in the Australian soap, was on a two week break from filming when she was taken to a Melbourne hospital and found to have a serious blood clot on her lung.

Executive producer of the show Susan Bower told The Daily Telegraph: "Unfortunately it is that time of year when people are prone to illness. We wish Kym a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her next week when we return from a production break."

In 2008, Valentine was temporarily replaced on the show by actress Michala Banas when she suffered a collapsed lung on a flight from the US to Australia.


I wish her a speedy recovery :(

Neighbours star Kym Valentine has returned to work following her recent health scare.

The actress, who plays Ramsay Street favourite Libby Kennedy, was last week found to have a blood clot on her lung after being rushed to hospital.

However, a Neighbours spokesperson has now told Holy Soap that the 33-year-old is recovering well and is filming scenes again.

The representative said: "She's improving and feeling a lot better than she did - she is back at work."

Reports suggest that Valentine is likely to be on a restricted filming schedule for the time being.

Good news :)
