DJ Steve Penk rushed to hospital

Spare a thought for everyone's favourite former Capital Radio DJ Steve Penk, who was unable to do his breakfast show after being rushed to hospital suffering from violent stomach pains. Penk, who presents on the north-west radio station 96.2FM The Revolution – which he also happens to own – was diagnosed as having kidney stones. "I've never known pain like that and it was such a relief to find out what was causing it," said Penk, who will presumably give himself a decent layoff to recover. Penk, who spent a day at the Royal Oldham hospital on Friday, will be back on air soon. In the meantime, it's Gimme Shelter by the Kidney … sorry, Rolling Stones. Get well soon, Penko.
