Martin Roberts reveals doctors are still worried following 'huge' needle plunged into his chest

Popular TV host Martin Roberts has opened up about his horrifying health scare and the moment he witnessed doctors drive an 'eight inch needle' into his chest in a lifesaving treatment bid.

The 58-year-old was rushed to hospital earlier this week - unknowing at the time he was merely 'hours from dying'.

Martin revealed he began to feel unwell over the Easter Bank Holiday - but dismissed his symptoms as long Covid or asthma. However, Wales Online report that by Wednesday, the TV presenter feared he was suffering a heart attack and was subsequently taken to hospital by his wife Kirsty - with doctors attending to him within '45 seconds' of his arrival.
