A source told The Sun,

“Stephen immediately felt unwell and concerned staff came over, and called 999. Paramedics checked him over and took him to hospital as a precaution. He was also put on the phone to his mum to reassure her that he was OK. Stephen is recovering well at home now, and is resting up. He’s so grateful for the care he received, and is mortified that he had such an awful — and public — reaction to the anaesthetic.”

Additionally, a spokesperson for Mulhern updated The Standard on his health, explaining that he has been going through a difficult time recently due to the passing of his father, which has caused him significant stress.

The spokesperson noted that after undergoing a medical procedure the day before, Stephen consumed some drinks that made him feel unwell, leading to his hospital visit.
