Popular TV presenter Martin Roberts was rushed to hospital last month after his heart stopped working. The 58-year-old has now revealed that he saw black "death juice" coming out of his chest as reported by WalesOnline.
Talking on the ITV morning show This Morning Martin said he was determined to return to Homes Under the hammer and explained his condition which resulted in his hospital trip. He explained: “There’s a sack around your heart and it was filling with fluid, it’s called a pericardial effusion, and that in turn is something called a tapenade, which basically means this sack is squeezing the heart it sits around, so the heart isn’t able to expand, and therefore isn’t able to pump, so it means all of your organs start failing."
Martin also explained how "minutes made a difference" in saving his life. He said: "By the time they got to me, my kidneys were at 30%, my liver was at 30%, my lungs weren’t getting the oxygen and at any point, I could have had a heart attack. The heart would have been strangled by itself.”
