Declan Donnelly ‘rushes to see his extremely unwell’ brother Dermott after he was hospitalised

Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain’s Got Talent host Declan Donnelly’s brother has died after being rushed to hospital with a ‘mystery illness’. 

Dermott Donnelly, a much loved Roman Catholic priest based in the family’s native north-east, was being treated at North Durham hospital after collapsing in his Newcastle parish.  

It’s understood that Donnelly, 55, was ‘extremely unwell’ following the incident, with parishioners urged to pray for his wellbeing during their next congregation.
