Martin Roberts gives health update after Homes Under The Hammer star's hospital scare sparks concern

Martin Roberts has revealed exactly why he was in hospital last week and how he's doing now after alarmingly being told he had just 'hours to live.'

Fans of Homes Under The Hammer were left concerned for the show's popular host when it was reported he took to Twitter to share the news he'd needed to have emergency heart surgery after doctors found a dangerous amount of fluid around his heart. Martin, 58, told his followers: "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 c***. So here I am, still around, thank goodness, thank god and angels, all those things.

Martin, 58, is still recovering in hospital after the major operation , but was well enough to appear on Monday's Good Morning Britain, speaking to the show's hosts from bedside his bed via video call.
