A BBC radio broadcast came to a sudden halt after the presenter started to suffer with heart problems live on air.

David Fitzgerald had been presenting on BBC Radio Devon for half an hour before suffering “heart issues” on April 13.

According to the Daily Star: His colleague Michael Chequer announced: “It is Thursday morning, Michael Chequer in for David Fitzgerald who is feeling a little under the weather.

“He has left the studio to get himself checked out. He is absolutely fine, we will keep you updated and let you know. He will be back with you ASAP.”

Later, David shared a health update with his fans via Facebook and reassured he was doing better after being taken to Derriford Hospital.

He wrote: “Just a little heart issue this morning, on the radio… thank you Derriford.”

The radio host also shared a snap of himself from his hospital bed, looking surprisingly cheery while hooked up to several machines.

  1. Well Paul o gradys dead Hosted for the love if dogs Was the highest paid BBC host as Lily Savage. Dead at 67. He had just returned from a job overseas so I’d imagine was jabbed He died “unexpectedly but peacefully” his husband said. Maybe he was depressed because his favourite dog had been euthanized without his knowledge whilst he was away. Or maybe he suffered depression due to the jabs. Who knows. Anyway 67 s too young to just pretend it’s normal
