Homes Under The Hammer star Martin Roberts said he was told he had "less than a few hours to live" after doctors failed to spot a problem with his heart.
He had to undergo an emergency operation on his heart in order to save his life. The 59-year-old had the operation last year after he developed heart pain when his pericardium - the fluid-filled sack that protects the organ - expanded.
The fluid build-up ended up putting pressure on his heart and he had to be rushed to the hospital.
