The 47-year-old TV presenter, who is grieving the recent loss of his father Christopher, experienced a reaction to an earlier anaesthetic while having a drink, The Sun first reported.
Staff at the restaurant in Sunningdale, Berkshire, called an ambulance at around 8pm out of concern. Paramedics reportedly assessed Stephen before taking him to Frimley Park Hospital in Camberley, Surrey, as a precaution.
After receiving care, Stephen is said to have spoken to his mother to reassure her he was fine. He is now at home recovering and reportedly embarrassed by the public incident.
Stephen has been supported by his ITV team, close friend Holly Willoughby, and others during this time.
Born in east London in 1977 to market traders Christopher and Maureen, Stephen started his career as a magician before becoming one of Britain’s most beloved TV presenters.
