BBC Radio 1 presenter Mollie King has disclosed that she was rushed to A&E following a frightening incident at her home two weeks ago.
The former Saturdays singer, 39, lost consciousness in her bathroom during the early hours after arriving back from work late.
"After coming home late from work, I suddenly collapsed unconscious on the bathroom floor at 4am, hitting my head and face as I fell," King wrote on Instagram this morning.
"It was a huge shock and I ended up being rushed to A&E."

The 39-year-old, who co-hosts the weekday afternoon show with Matt Edmondson, had been absent from the airwaves for a fortnight before breaking her silence today.
Ms King expressed profound gratitude that her fiancé, retired England cricketer Stuart Broad, was with her when the incident occurred.
"I keep thinking how grateful I am that I wasn't on my own and had Stuart to bring me round after I fell," she said.
The presenter also praised the medical team who treated her at St George's Hospital.

"A huge thank you to Amy and Hannah at St George's Hospital, who were absolutely incredible, stitching me up so well, and even managed to see past the Looney Tunes pyjama top I arrived in," Ms King added, joking that she needs to purchase new nightwear.
The broadcaster described the frightening episode as a significant moment of reflection regarding her wellbeing.
"It's been a real wake-up call that I need to make some time to get my strength back, not just for my own health, but so I can be the best version of myself for my family too," Ms King explained.
The mother of two shares daughters Annabella, born in November 2022, and Liliana, who arrived in January 2025, with Mr Broad.
