Alison Hammond reveals she suffered panic attack
Alison Hammond has revealed she had to leave the set of This Morning after suffering a "massive panic attack".
Alison Hammond, a 51-year-old TV presenter, disclosed on Instagram that she experienced a panic attack while working on the live show This Morning. The incident occurred when the program was midway through a segment discussing pets. Hammond was seen leaving the set, clutching her chest, after appearing to suffer a massive panic attack.
Her colleague Dermot O'Leary, then 53, accompanied her off the set, expressing concern that she was feeling unwell. After the episode, Hammond shared a video update, explaining that she had in fact suffered a panic attack and that she was now safe and feeling much better, thanks to the medical checks conducted on her heart, lungs, and blood.
She acknowledged her inexperience with panic attacks and expressed gratitude to her colleagues and viewers for their support. Hammond, who rose to fame through Channel 4's Big Brother in 2002, has since hosted various shows including I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and Strictly Come Dancing.
