Loose Women star Kaye Adams has shared the terrifying moment she had a sudden health emergency just before she went live on air as she ended up in A&E

Loose Women’s Kaye Adams has revealed how she was rushed to A&E after an emergency on the show.

The TV presenter, 61, has recalled the terrifying moment as she appeared on the ITV panel show a week on from the incident. She was joined alongside Kelly Holmes, Judi Love and Nadia Sawalha to discuss the day’s topics. During the programme on Friday. Earlier this week Kaye revealed she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air.

During today’s show, Kaye opened up on the scary moment as she told viewers: “We showed you a clip of what happened to me last Friday just before we went on air. I just completely lost my hearing in my right ear.” A clip was then shown of Kaye struggling to hear the producers in her ear piece last week, where she said she could “hear nothing”.

After the clip had finished, she told the panel: “That’s what you call a brave face because behind that I was seriously panicking. I wear hearing aids which is fine and I manage quiet well. I have got this television ear piece and then I can hear you lot with hearing aids.” She joked: “I sometimes switch [them] off.” Kaye added: ” So to completely go deaf in this ear was terrifying.”

Kaye had taken to her social media earlier in the week where she informed her followers about the incident. She wrote: “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.”

She decided to push through the show, and didn’t mention her health scare to viewers. However, she 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. S he was then sent for an audiogram at a nearby Boots hearing centre but 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.”
