BBC Radio 2 star reveals six-night hospital stay after being rushed into A&E
A FORMER Radio 2 star has revealed that they had to be rushed to A&E.
Following the dash to seek medical treatment, the presenter, 65, then had to stay in hospital for almost a week.
Broadcaster Debbie Greenwood – who hosted a Radio 2 show in the late ’80s – gave fans an update following her “unexpected” six-night stay to have treatment.
The radio and TV presenter revealed she was on the mend after dashing to Kingston Hospital last week.
Taking to social media to give a health update, she wrote: “A huge thank you to the amazing team at Kingston Hospital who looked after me so well for my unexpected 6 night stay.
“You were so, so kind, attentive, patient and cheerful.
“The hospital is incredibly busy – especially A&E. But still – what an NHS we have! Thank you, thank you.”
Her followers immediately responded with well-wishes, with one writing: “Take care Debs, I hope you are on the mend.”
While another said: “Sorry to hear you’ve been in hospital Debbie. Wishing you a speedy recovery.”
This fan wrote: “I hope you’re better Debs, I’m sorry you’ve been poorly.”
The legendary broadcaster started out in the ’80s on shows like Granada Television and BBC Breakfast Time (now known as BBC Breakfast).
She also won the Miss Great Britain title back in 1984, and has worked on a number of shopping channels including Bid TV and QVC.
Debbie is also a wedding celebrant.
It was recently revealed how she has a piece of the original Breakfast Time red leather sofa, which was given to her as a goodbye present when she left the show.
Speaking about this, current BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay said: “Last week I went to Debbie’s house.
“And it’s all true. Debbie Greenwood has a section of the original BBC #BreakfastTime sofa!
“OK, it’s only a small section. One seat.
“Debbie normally keeps it in her spare bedroom. But she puts it in her sitting room for us to film.”
Debbie added: “It means the world to me. That sofa changed my life. I’d never get rid of it. Imagine all the famous bottoms that have sat on it!”
Meanwhile, last week a beloved Radio 2 announced a huge move after being snapped up by a rival station.
Gaby Roslin is joining Magic Radio to host a new weekend show.
The Sun understands that while Gaby has left Radio 2, however, she will continue to present her Sunday afternoon show on BBC Radio London, as well as the Make a Difference programmes on BBC local radio.
Gaby previously covered shifts on Breakfast at BBC Radio 2, with her famously filling in for Zoe Ball last summer.
Over the years, Gaby has appeared on several BBC Radio shows, with her often sitting in for famous faces who were absent.
