Collins hospitalised after Oscar party

Joan Collins has revealed that she was hospitalised after feeling faint at an Oscar party on Sunday night.

The former Dynasty star told The New York Post that her husband of eight years, Percy Gibson, called for an ambulance at Hollywood's Sunset Tower Hotel after she suddenly began to feel ill.

"We had been there for seven hours, and I started feeling dizzy. I tried to get some air, but I felt really faint," she said.

The actress added: "We went to the hospital, and they did all the tests before the doctors told me I was absolutely fine and released me."

Collins further expressed her belief that the health scare might have been caused by her gown, which she claims was too tightly fitted.

"The truth was, I made the wrong decision to wear a very tight dress, and had something rather like a Victorian swoon," she remarked. "The good news is, I am in good health and feel fine today."

It was previously reported that Collins missed a scheduled pantomime performance in January due to illness.
