Joe Swash hailed a ‘gentleman’ for helping a 95-year-old woman get to her hospital appointment

Joe Swash has been praised for helping a nonagenarian get to a hospital appointment by carrying her to it.

The former EastEnders star, 40, sprung into action after he saw some of her relatives struggling when they could not find a wheelchair.

His good deed was revealed when one of the woman’s relatives took to social media to thank him and also tagged his new wife Stacey Solomon.

The user known as “Suz” wrote: “Yesterday my 95 year old nan had a hospital app, in a very busy hospital my 2 aunties that took her couldn’t find a wheelchair so had to half carry her in, out of all the people there a man ran straight to them to help @realjoeswash thank you so much @StaceySolomon”.

Swash replied to Suz’s tweet, saying: “No problem! Your nan looks amazing for 95 hope she Is ok.”

Suz then followed up with: “Thank you, she keeps telling everyone that you said she only looks 70! You made an old ladies day!!!!”

After the former I’m A Celebrity winner retweeted the exchange, he was soon inundated with messages from fans saluting him for helping out.

“Well done Joe, a proper gentleman,” declared one.

“A proper legend,” wrote another, while a third said he was “so kind” for what he did.
