Diabetic paedophile Rolf Harris has been taken to hospital after 'overdosing on chocolate'.

The 85-year-old has reportedly fallen ill after gorging on chocolate and sweets in jail, despite being diabetic, according to the Daily Mirror.

He was taken from Stafford Prison, where he is serving nearly six years for carrying out a string of sex attacks, to Stafford Hospital.

Singer Vince Hill, 81, told the newspaper that he had heard from one of the ex-children's entertainer's friends that Harris had "sort of overdosed on chocolate".

Harris was jailed for five years and nine months in July 2014 after being found guilty of indecently assaulting four girls.
