Gogglebox star Sandra Martin's best pal was rushed to hospital after collapsing at home.
The TV star, 60, took to Twitter with pics of her friend, 82, being stretchered out of the home they share in worrying scenes.
Updating her followers on what had happened, Sandra said: "Yes everyone, I left Derby to move to my best friend Anne Marie of 40 years to look after her.
"Today she couldn't breathe, so I called 999, but the fire crew had to come.
"Thanks to the NHS fire services for taking my best friend to hospital."
In one of the pics Sandra gives a thumbs up, sporting orange fluffy sliders, while her friend is wheeled out of the house.
In another, the armchair critic poses with members of the emergency services.
Sandra returned to social media today to give fans an update on how her friend was getting on.
"Yes, she is back and okay," she said.
"I couldn't help it if the ambulance and fire service was totally shock when I open the door. Obviously they was 1 million fans of me #sandragogglebox.
"My best friend was okay, she was in good hands. Thanks again NHS."
The TV star continued: "The main thing is she ok now. Thankfully I was there.
"She is my best friend and I actually left home to move in to look after her. She has no family to help so I am here at God's blessing. She is 82."
Sandra was one of the jewels in Gogglebox's crown with best mate Sandi Bogle before she quit in 2018.
Fans would love to see the pair back on the show, but Sandra claims there's no going back once you've said goodbye.
She told her Instagram followers the bad news last year - even though she reckoned it would be ratings gold for Channel 4.
Addressing her return, she said: “Apparently when you leave you can’t go back… but Channel 4 know me and my TV partner go back the ratings will go sky high.
“After Sandi left I miss her so much.. plus it was a contract show.. you can’t do certain shows like Big Brother if you on Gogglebox... anyway am happy. 5 yearz on sofa was good enough.”
The Brixton gals were fan favourites from the get-go, starring on the first series of the show together.
However, Sandra quit the series in 201 8 – amid reports of an epic fallout between the pair.
She previously hinted Sandi’s love of fame was to blame – with the star telling Lorraine in 2018: “My partner Sandi is interested in that famous life."
