American actress Winona Ryder was taken to hospital today after becoming ill on a flight to London.
A spokesman for Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge, west London, said the 37-year-old was treated by medics directly off the plane at Heathrow Airport.
A spokesman for British Airways said: ``The captain of BA282, which was travelling from LA to Heathrow, requested a priority landing as a female passenger required medical attention.
``The passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The plane touched down shortly before noon UK time.
BA also said their crew looked after her as much as they could whilst on board, and passenger service staff accompanied her to hospital.
