Lord of the dance ‘feeling a bit better’

DANCE superstar Michael Flatley is “feeling a bit better” and is hoping to return to his county Cork home sometime next week after a mystery illness laid him low in a London hospital.

A spokesperson for the former Riverdance star said yesterday: “Michael is feeling a little bit better and is just anxious to make it back to Castlehyde to rest and recover.”

The exact nature of the illness which led to him being hospitalised at the private London Clinic two weeks ago remains unknown, but it’s now thought that the Chicago-born dancer was suffering from a viral infection.
