THE BILL’S REG HOLLIS SLASHES HIS WRISTS AFTER BEING DUMPED FROM PROGRAM

January 11th 2008 02:29

The Bill actor Jeff Stewart was taken to hospital last night after reportedly harming himself at the studios where the show is filmed, according to The Australian.
The incident occurred after producers of the popular British program, also aired in Australia, told the 52-year-old they were terminating his role on the program.
Reports suggest the actor, who plays PC Reg Hollis, slashed his wrists shortly after being told the news by TalkbackThames, who makes the series.
A spokesperson for the ITV1 police drama said confirmed an incident occurred following a meeting with Jeff Stewart, when it was discussed that his contract would not be renewed."

Aberdeen-born Stewart has worked on the show since 1984, when the program began. He has recorded more than 300 episodes and is the only remaining original cast member.
Last year, he was admitted to psychiatric hospital The Priory after collapsing at his home. He was suspended from The Bill for a week in December, after reportedly losing his temper on set.
