BBC Radio 1 host Mollie King has opened up about a terrifying incident that led to her being rushed to A&E after collapsing at home in the early hours of the morning. The former The Saturdays singer, who co-hosts the 'Matt and Mollie' show alongside Matt Edmondson, took a period of leave from her radio duties, sparking concern among listeners.
Details of the Collapse
In an Instagram post on Monday, June 8, Mollie addressed her absence for the first time. She explained that after returning home late from work, she suddenly collapsed unconscious on the bathroom floor at 4am, hitting her head and face as she fell. The incident was a huge shock, and she was rushed to A&E.
Mollie expressed gratitude that her fiancé, retired cricketer Stuart Broad, was present to help bring her around after the fall. She also thanked the staff at St George's Hospital, particularly Amy and Hannah, who stitched her up expertly and managed to see past her Looney Tunes pyjama top.
Recovery and Reflection
The singer-turned-presenter described the incident as a wake-up call, emphasizing the need to prioritize her health and regain strength for the sake of her family. She shared that her first social outing in two weeks was spent with her daughter, and they even spotted Stuart on a big screen, which brought smiles.
Mollie concluded her post by thanking fans for their support and birthday messages, and expressed excitement about returning to the radio show with Matt that day.
Support from Colleagues and Friends
Matt Edmondson responded warmly, saying, 'We've missed you.' Fellow celebrities flooded her with love, including former bandmate Rochelle Humes, who sent heart emojis, and Una Healy, who wished her a speedy recovery. Melvin Odoom, Dean McCullough, and Vick Hope also sent their best wishes.
