British TV presenter Alison Hammond undergoes heart scan after having to leave This morning mid-broadcast. Hammond, who Americans know best as co-host of The Great British Pastry Show, was presenting a segment about pets when she abruptly left the camera. When the show returned from commercial, her co-host Dermot O’Leary told the audience “Alison hasn’t been feeling well, so she’s just had to pull out. I hope she comes back.” On her Instagram Stories, Hammond said she was either having heart palpitations or a panic attack, and was now in the hospital to get to the bottom of it.
“I know you’re all worried about me,” she said (according to Deadline). “Honestly, first of all, I’m fine. I’m getting my old ticker checked. I had a little palpitations, and now I’m getting everything checked. But I think I’m fine. I hope it was just a little panic attack or something. I love you all.”
