"Australian comedic legend Barry Humphries is in a stable condition in hospital, despite earlier reports he was "unresponsive".
A spokesperson for St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney confirmed to 9News the comedian is stable and said any claims he was unresponsive are "untrue".
The 89-year-old performer, best known for his character Dame Edna Everage, was hospitalised earlier this week due to complications from hip surgery.
"I spoke to the person who has been appointed by the family as their mouthpiece and their voice, and she has been given no update as far as she's concerned," he said.
"I hope to hell that those stories are wrong.
"But obviously, he is an 89-year-old man, he's not well.
Wilkins said Humphries' health "took a turn" this week.
"I have spoken to a few people close to Barry in the last couple of hours," Wilkins said on Wednesday morning.
"One of his very close friends and colleagues said that he spoke to him a couple of days ago and that he was in good spirits and in good shape.
"However, it appears that in the last little while, Barry has taken a turn for the worst and is back in hospital."
