Susannah Constantine rushed to hospital and placed on a drip amid ‘serious’ health condition

Susannah Constantine was rushed to hospital and placed on a drip after a 'serious' health condition.

The 61 year old What Not to Wear star took to Instagram, where she posted a video of a cannula in her arm as she lay in a hospital bed, where her shallow breathing could be heard.

While she didn't reveal exactly what was wrong with her, Susannah took a moment to praise the NHS, and said she was 'grateful'.

She wrote: "Withered arm turned out to be symptom of something a bit more serious.

"All sorted now thanks to our ailing but still magnificent NHS where we are lucky enough to have some of the most gifted doctors (and in this case neurosurgeons) in the world. @brainandspine. Forever grateful."

Her friends and followers rushed to offer their well-wishes to Susannah in the comments.

TV presenter Lisa Snowdon wrote: " Oh honey. Gosh. Sending you lots of love and a speedy recovery.

A follower commented: " Oh noooo! Take care and get well soon. Big hugs xxx," whilst another said: "Thinking of you. Take it easy, don’t rush your recovery x"

A fourth person wrote: "What a shock to see this. Sending get well wishes," and a fifth said: "Get better soon, sending lots of love."

Susannah recently opened up about her devastating hearing loss, which she realised after not being able to hear birdsong.

She told The Mirror that the "penny didn't drop until Spring," as she said: "I live in the countryside, birdsong is something I’ve always loved and found very comforting. I was sitting in a big barrel of water doing my cold water immersion, listening to the birds, thinking, ‘There’s a mistle thrush and there’s a… why aren’t I hearing it?’

"It was a cacophony of noise without the clarity and differentiation. That’s when I realised. Well, that coupled with my children [Joe, 23, Esme, 21 and Cece, 18] calling me deaf and getting really frustrated with me."

"Ambient noise is awful. I wasn’t able to hear the person sitting next to me. I’d become an amateur lip reader, but if I couldn’t see someone’s face, I had no idea what they were saying. It was embarrassing.”

She admitted needing help for age-related hear loss is something she'd "always dreaded" as she said she "feels ashamed" of her condition.

Susannah talked about there being a "huge stigma around wearing hearing aids" as she said it made her feel "so old".

She had a test done at Boots which showed that she needs to wear hearing aids, which she now does, as she described them as "transformative".
