Homes Under The Hammer host Martin Roberts has revealed that he was rushed to hospital with just “hours to live”.
The 58-year-old presenter told fans how he was admitted to hospital with chest pains on Wednesday.
Roberts tweeted from hospital in Bath: “I was brought in here and it turns out I had a massive amount of fluid all around my heart, which was actually stopping my heart working.
“Had they not got rid of it, which they did in an emergency operation last night, then it’s sort of quite serious, like hours to live kind of crap.”
So. Bit of a shocker. Thankfully I’m here to tell the tale…🙏 pic.twitter.com/00dV2vpr2K

“There’s lots of other complicated things that have happened as a result, but we will work through those, and I’ll keep you updated.
“Meanwhile, there’s a good TV show on that I think I’ll watch here.”
He received a number of well-wishes from followers and friends, including his colleague Lucy Alexander.
The TV star said: “Omg … omg sending you the BIGGEST hug ever. Love ya mate.”
