Actor Johnny Ward confessed to feeling like his family is “cursed” after his mum was hospitalised following a heart scare.

He said: “I feel like I'm cursed. My mum's in hospital at the moment.

"She had something wrong with her heart. She seems to have had a panic attack or something like that.”

The Dubliner added that he didn’t think it was anything serious but said: “ It's like someone has put a curse on us."

Johnny’s dad passed away on March 2 after battling stage four cancer.
