The wife of Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has said her husband is 'fine' after undergoing a heart operation.

The Sky Sports pundit was taken to Royal Bournemouth General Hospital in an ambulance on Friday after he suddenly became unwell.

But his wife Karen has said the former Newcastle United manager has recovered. He was discharged and returned home on Sunday afternoon.

Souness underwent a minor heart procedure and is due to be discharged within the next 48 hours

Speaking to the Scottish Daily Record, former Bond girl Mrs Souness said: 'It happened very suddenly and I called the ambulance.

'Graeme was taken into hospital on Friday and he's had a minor cardiac procedure which has all gone well and they're hoping to discharge him within the next 48 hours.

'It wasn't planned. It's just normal practice – they keep you in for a couple of days, it's all very normal.'

The 62-year-old's illness meant he was not part of Sky Sports coverage of the Barclays Premier League this weekend, with colleague Jeff Stelling wishing Souness well at the beginning of Soccer Saturday.

'Souey, if you’re watching, get well very quickly,' Stelling said.

Souness's wife said her husband was very keen to get out of hospital and back to full health.

'He's fine – he's telling everyone he feels fine and wants to go home,' said 56-year-old Mrs Souness. 'We hope he'll be back to full health very soon.'
