TV presenter Martin Roberts has revealed he had "less than a few hours to live" and needed an emergency heart operation to save his life.
The BBC Homes Under The Hammer host says doctors had failed to spot a problem with his heart. Martin said: "A year ago, I had a problem with my heart that hadn’t been noticed," he told The Sun.
"The sack around my heart had expanded and was putting pressure on the heart. I had less than a few hours to live. I was rushed into hospital and had an emergency operation where they stabbed a tube into the sack around the heart and drew a litre and a half of fluid.
