BBC star suffers heart attack minutes before filming hit show as he shares picture from hospital bed
A BBC STAR has suffered a heart attack just minutes from filming a hit show.
John Cameron worried fans as he took to social media to reveal his shock health news to fans.
The beloved Bargain Hunt star said he was rushed to hospital ‘with sirens’ blaring and straight into theatre.
Posting after his operation from his hospital bed, John revealed his a blocked artery caused the heart attack just 10 minutes before filming kicked off.
He told fans: “On a day when junior doctors stage a one day strike over back pay, I would like to pledge my support and say a huge thank you to the St Mary’s hospital drop-in centre, the paramedics ‘Jess’ and ‘Cat’ who transported me to Queen Alexandra Hospital with sirens blaring, and the amazing emergency team in theatre who fitted me with a stent unblocking the artery that caused me to have a heart attack just 10 minutes before I was about to film a BBC Bargain Hunt auction at my firm Nesbits in Southsea.
“Not sure how many of my 9 lives still remain but I definitely lost one yesterday. To quote the great ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius, ‘we have two lives, the second one begins when you realise you only have one.’
“I will now be switching to a more friendly and renewable light source over the candle I have been burning at both ends! Sorry also to my wife, children, grandchildren, staff and friends for scaring the ‘Eartha Kitt‘ out of them.”
