Martin Roberts has been supported by fans as he issued an emotional health update.
The Warrington presenter was rushed to hospital last month after experiencing troubles with breathing. The 58-year-old initially thought he was experiencing symptoms of long-Covid, but was told by doctors he had a "a massive amount of fluid" surrounding his heart.
He said: "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.
