Ed: I'm fit and raring to go
Aug 17 2007 By Poppy Brady, Birmingham Mail
VETERAN BBC WM presenter Ed Doolan today said he is raring to go and can't wait to get back behind the microphone after having life-saving heart surgery.
The popular Aussie, aged 66, said he will return to the airwaves on Monday to run his popular three-hour daily slot less than a fortnight after undergoing emergency surgery to have a pacemaker fitted.
"I don't want to stay away too long because other members of staff are doing really well on my show and I don't want them to realise how easy it all is," quipped the award-winning presenter.
The drama unfolded on August 8 after his heart beat dropped to a dangerously low level. He was given an ECG and surgeons told him he needed a pacemaker fitted immediately.
