TV presenter Kaye Adams she was left ‘terrified’ that something was really wrong after she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air on Friday’s instalment of Loose Women

Loose Women legend Kaye Adams has revealed that she was rushed to A&E after suffering a ‘traumatic’ health scare.

The popular ITV star, 61, took to social media to reveal she was left ‘terrified’ that something was really wrong after she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air on Friday’s instalment of Loose Women

Explaing her health scare on Instagram, Kaye said: “I was absolutely terrified, I thought, ‘Oh my god, what has gone wrong? On Friday when I was doing Loose Women, minutes before we went in air, my right ear just went dead. I put my earpiece in, there was no sound I couldn’t hear a thing.”

Kaye pushed through the show, not mentioning her health scare to viewers but became increasingly worried when she got home to Glasgow and her hearing still had not returned.

The Loose Women star explained that as she became more concerned, she started to google her symptoms after losing all hearing in one ear so suddenly. Kaye went to sleep but woke up the next morning and went straight to the hospital where she was looked after by the ‘dedicated’ nurses.

Kaye explained she was then sent for an audiogram at a nearby Boots hearing centre. However, she was left utterly mortified when she discovered the reason behind her sudden hearing loss. The TV star revealed that the audiologist pulled out a huge lump of wax, which was affecting her hearing.

I mean I am embarrassed to say this because, honestly, my head was going to some terrible terrible tumour, I am very melodramatic,” Kaye told her followers. “Paula pulled out the biggest bit of wax you have ever seen.”

Thankfully, the TV star has nothing to worry about, and her hearing came back immediately after undergoing to process.
