The beloved presenter\u2019s unexpected disappearance prompted concern from viewers, with Hammond revealing she had been taken to hospital to get her heart checked.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello my lovelies, I know you\u2019re all worried about me,\u201d she told<\/a> her 1.9 million Instagram followers from a hospital bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly I am fine, first of all. I\u2019m getting me old ticker checked out, I had a little bit of a palpitation, and now I\u2019m getting it all checked out, but I think I\u2019m okay.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping it\u2019s just a little panic attack or something like that,\u201d she added while lying in a hospital gown.<\/p>\n

Hammond apologised for abruptly leaving the program, saying it wasn\u2019t something she would normally do.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you know I wasn\u2019t very well but hopefully, I\u2019m going to be alright. The doctors are so lovely, and they\u2019re checking me out. And hopefully, everything is going to be fine,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Despite the scare, the presenter appeared in good spirits and joked she was still wearing her television make-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell everything is fine, look I\u2019m rocking it, I\u2019ve still got my make-up on from This Morning. Lush, love you Babs.\u201d<\/p>\n
