Bob Mortimer has shared an update on his health, revealing he “wasn’t very well” while filming the new series of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.

Mortimer said the new series begins with “the greatest Gone Fishing episodes that have ever been made”.

Gone Fishing was born when Whitehouse, who Mortimer had known for 30 years, invited his longtime friend fishing to get him out of the house after the surgery.
