โHe was immediately assessed by our medical staff and an ambulance was called.
โCam was subsequently admitted to hospital, where he is undergoing further assessment and tests to determine the possible cause of the collapse and what treatment will be required.
โWe will be in a position to comment further in due course.
โIn the meantime, we will ensure that Cam and his family are provided with all the necessary care and support required."
