Nearly one month after he was hospitalized for chronic back pain, the former host of 'The Price Is Right' has once again been rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

AceShowbiz - U.S. TV host Bob Barker has been rushed to hospital for the second time in a month.

The former host of "The Price Is Right" was taken from his Hollywood Hills home to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles via ambulance on Sunday afternoon, November 18, after suffering from severe back pain.

The 94-year-old's representative confirmed the news, which was originally reported by TMZ.com, to Entertainment Tonight and said that Barker is "awake, alert, and improving, but he's up and down."

Barker was previously rushed to hospital on 22 October due to chronic back pain. His rep told ET that his recovery has been slow due to the TV star's age and explained that he was transported via ambulance because "it’s difficult to transport him by passenger car."

The game show presenter, who has also appeared as himself in TV show "How I Met Your Mother" and 1996 movie "Happy Gilmore", was reportedly visited by medical officials on 9 October, when his complaints about back pain first began.

The incident comes just over a year after he was hospitalised after hitting the back of his head in a fall.
