Why it matters
The incident highlights the increasing public conversation around mental health and the physical manifestations of stress in high-pressure work environments.
Alison Hammond has revealed she had to leave the set of This Morning after suffering a "massive panic attack".
Yesterday, the TV presenter, 51, was accompanied off the ITV programme by colleague Dermot O'Leary while appearing to clutch her chest.
The ITV show, which was halfway through a segment about pets, quickly cut to adverts, and returned with O’Leary saying Hammond was "feeling a little unwell" and "had to duck out".
Hammond has now shared a health update, explaining that she had suffered a panic attack.
Posting a video on Instagram, she said: "Hi everyone. I’m just getting in touch to let you all know I’m home, I’m safe, and I’m feeling so much better.
"Thanks to everyone at the NHS who did the checks on my heart, lungs, bloods. I’m all okay. It’s all clear.
