Lawyers for actress Leslie Ash have confirmed she is close to settling a compensation case after she contracted a hospital superbug.
Ash, famous for her roles in Men Behaving Badly and Merseybeat, contracted MSSA at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital three years ago.
The settlement is reportedly in the region of £500,000.
Lawyer Janice Gardener said: "Matters are at a delicate stage but we can confirm that we are no longer going to court. The case will be settled in full this week."
Ash, 47, who now walks with a stick, was admitted to hospital after suffering two cracked ribs after falling off her bed on to a table at the home she shared with her husband, the former footballer Lee Chapman.
The NHS Trust initially agreed a payment of £250,000 after the hospital admitted breach of duty.
