In a video he said: "Well, I have to say this isn’t where I expected to be watching Homes Under the Hammer. Little bit of good news, little bit of bad news. I ended up in hospital in Bath yesterday.
"I had a few chest pains and just feeling generally lousy, so I was brought in here and turns out I had a massive amount of fluid all around my heart, which was actually stopping my heart working. Had they not got rid of it, which they did in an emergency operation last night, then it’s sort of quite serious, like, hours to live kind of c***.
"So here I am, still around, thank goodness, thank god and angels, all those things."
"There’s lots of other complicated things that have happened as a result, but we will work through those, and I’ll keep you updated. Meanwhile, there’s a good TV show on that I think I’ll watch here."
He was flooded with well wishes from his followers and friends after sharing the video, including his colleague Lucy Alexander. One person said: "Oh my goodness, what a shock and how scary. Best wishes for a full recovery."
Another added: "Oh my! Take care and sending huge recovery hugs."
Martin recently appeared on Good Morning Britain, as he shared plans to head to the Ukraine border to deliver much needed supplies amid the conflict with Russia.
