INBETWEENERS star James Buckley’s wife Clair was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after “not being able to stand up”.
The couple shared on their podcast that Clair, 38, had been unwell and needed to seek urgent medical attention.
In a snippet from the latest episode of The Buckleys, Clair revealed: “I’ve not been very well.”
James, 38, then replied: “No, you ended up in the old hospital there, didn’t you?
“Didn’t an ambulance come and take you away?”
Explaining what happened, the mum-of-two said: “So basically it was some sort of virus that I had had, but it was slowly sort of chipping away at me and I was getting more and more dehydrated and I didn’t even really know.”

The Inbetweeners star then said: “I feel a little bit bad. Because I went away, I was working.
“And you were calling me up, sort of. I’d get to my hotel and I’d check, see how you’re getting on. You’d be going, ‘I’m really ill, I’m really sick.’
“And I was going, ‘Alright, see how you feel in the morning.’
“I came home and the only way I can describe you, you look like when little weak Lord Voldemort was being carried and he’s got his little thin little legs like hanging out and he’s got like a little shawl over him!”
James, who shot to fame in the noughties as Jay in The Inbetweeners, then revealed how once he saw how sick his wife was he called 999,
“Got an ambulance, didn’t we? Because you couldn’t move, you couldn’t get in the car and stuff. You were so weak,” the star revealed.
Finishing off the story, Clair then said: “So anyway, I got taken in and just got pumped full of fluids. There you go.”
Not one to miss a comic moment, James then joked: “That’s the title of the show. That’s the title of this episode. Claire Pumped Full of Fluid!”
The Buckleys podcast is a spin-off from their hugely successful YouTube vlogging series At Home With The Buckleys,
The pair thrill fans each week with their hilarious stories from their family life.
James and Clair first found love when they met on Twitter.
Clair, then an actress and model living in Glasgow, previously revealed how she had never watched The Inbetweeners before meeting the actor – who was currently starring in season three of the hit show at the time.
“I knew of the show and what it was but I didn’t tune in. I didn’t watch it, which might have been a good thing,” the Scottish podcaster told The Sun in 2023.
“I did watch a couple of episodes after we met but to this day I don’t think I’ve seen every single episode. James and Jay are nothing alike thank God.”
