Story summary

On Friday morning during the ITV show "This Morning," Alison Hammond, 51, left midway through her broadcast after clutching her chest, escorted by co-host Dermot O’Leary. Initially believed to be experiencing heart-related issues, she went to a hospital for tests and later revealed on Instagram that doctors found no serious health problems. She disclosed that the incident was actually caused by a severe panic attack, which felt very real and terrifying at the time. Hammond expressed her gratitude to viewers and colleagues alike for their support during this difficult experience. She also thanked NHS staff who conducted various medical checks including heart tests, blood work, and lung examinations, all of which came back clear. Since then, she has returned home feeling much better and acknowledged the overwhelming kindness from everyone involved.
