11th September 2026 – (Hong Kong) Former TVB artist Margaret Chung, who stepped back from showbusiness to teach yoga and focus on family life, has drawn intense public concern after reports today that she was taken to the intensive care unit at the Chinese University Hospital. The renewed attention followed a recent birthday gathering for close friend Janet Chow.
A reader tip claimed friends were seen outside the hospital’s intensive care department this morning. When contacted by phone, Chung’s husband, the Hong Kong‑based Italian–Chinese mixed‑heritage businessman Nardone Ruggero, answered and said she is “ok” before ending the call. Public profiles and prior coverage identify him as Nardone Ruggero.
Recent images from the birthday event showed Chung in a denim jacket and black cap, appearing noticeably slimmer, with some online comments noting a stiff expression and suggesting she needed to hold a chair while posing, which fuelled speculation about her health. Supporters urged restraint and respect as friends said she had been recovering from influenza on the day of the gathering and was simply fatigued.
