Ruby Wax has sparked concern after posting a video from what appears to be a hospital bed.
The 69-year-old comedian took to Instagram earlier today with her latest social media upload in which she spoke about her latest book, I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was - but fans were quick to notice the medical bed she was sitting in, as well as the wires connected to her chest.
She said to her 103K followers: “'Hi my name is Ruby Wax and this is the cover of my new book.
“'I think it says it all. No comment from me. It's coming out May 11 and you can preorder it by the link on my bio. It's my new baby.”

“This could be my most honest and raw book to date which feels good, but also a little scary.
“I do hope it might provide some reassurance and guidance for anyone else struggling with their own mental health. It's coming out May 11th and you can pre-order it now via the link in my bio. Ruby x.”
She also penned several hashtags, including: “#DepressionSupport, #DepressionRecovery and #PsychiatricHospital.”
Although she seemed in good spirits as she promoted her latest project - which she dubbed as ‘my baby’ and discusses the difficult aspects of mental health - onlookers began to worry for the star as they wished her well in the comments section.
It comes as she has recently released a new book (PA)“Can’t wait to read it…. But are you ok Hun? As we can see you are in hospital,” one follower wrote, while another added: “Hope you are ok and nothing too serious. I see your in hospital so sending you love x and healing.”
The television personality has long been open with her followers in her fight against depression across the years, but last year she admitted that the mental health condition caused her to think about thoughts that were ‘so agonising it's hard to stay alive'.
