Judge Judy hospitalised

Los Angeles - TV's Judge Judy is in hospital in Los Angeles for an undisclosed condition.

A spokesman for 68-year-old Judy Sheindlin says the judge is "feeling much better" after being taken from her show taping by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre on Wednesday.

Publicist Gary Rosen says Sheindlin will be released from the hospital on Thursday.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott confirmed that a female patient was taken from Sunset Bronson Studios to a local hospital after dispatchers received a 911 call about a medical emergency. She was admitted in a serious condition.

Sheindlin presides over small-claims cases on her syndicated show, Judge Judy.

Rosen says she will return to taping her show as scheduled on April 12.
