Ricky Gervais nearly went to the After Life after choking on a smoothie. The comic collapsed on the floor and struggled to breathe – sending his long-term partner Jane Fallon into a panic.

Ricky, 59 – who plays a suicidal widower in the Netflix smash – explains: “I was just going down to the hotel to film After Life and I had a smoothie. “I must have coughed or breathed, and then I couldn’t breathe.

I started choking and I couldn’t breathe and my throat closed up and I went on the floor. “Jane was worried – and then eventually I got a little bit of air in. “It was f*****g horrible.

I thought I was going to die. That’s the closest I’ve come to dying… and it was drinking – drinking a smoothie.” But Ricky has not been put off smoothies and
