He tested as being twice the legal limit for alcohol, was charged with DUI and bailed at nearly £10,000 before being taken straight to hospital to be treated for what has been described as an 'undisclosed ailment'.

It's the second time that Madsen has been arrested this year, after he was charged with child endangerment following an argument with one of his sons in March. The case was later dropped.

He was last seen on UK screens when he appeared on 'Celebrity Big Brother' alongside the likes of Denise Welch, Andrew Stone and Natalie Cassidy.

He finished in fourth place.
