BT Sport commentator and Forest fan Darren Fletcher thanks QMC staff as he's rushed to hospital

Well-known football commentator and lifelong Nottingham Forest fan Darren Fletcher was rushed to hospital after he suffered an anaphylactic shock. The lead BT Sport commentator, who's also known for his work on BBC Radio 5 Live airwaves, and who lives locally, was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in the early hours of Wednesday morning (February 1) because he struggled to breathe.

Writing on Twitter, he thanked the medical team at the hospital and said he hoped to return home later that day. He wrote: "Had anaphylactic shock in the early hours which was quite scary - it was a reaction to something.

"Struggled to breathe and stuff but the staff at the QMC have been brilliant. The adrenaline was interesting! Hoping to be home later." Anaphylactic shock is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
