Celebrity Big Brother host Will Best was rushed to paramedics just minutes before the live show on Monday.
The presenter, 39, suffered a sudden turn an hour before stepping on to the stage in a dramatic start to the series.
Luckily, he was soon given ‘a clean bill of health’ after being checked over, allowing the launch to go ahead as planned.
Will explained on his Instagram Story: ‘So guys, this is nearly it. We’re basically one hour away from going live on Celebrity Big Brother 2024.
‘I’ve literally just been given a clean bill of health by a paramedic. Thank you very much. It’s a long story.’

He continued: ‘We’ve got to do stuff any minute and I’m supposed to be finished in the make-up chair in about 15 minutes but I haven’t got my face on yet.
‘Maybe tune in at 9:15… joke!’
The ITV show made its long-awaited return to screens, with 12 unassuming stars moving into the famous house.
Will made it onto the stage in time with his co-host AJ Odudu, who turned heads in a racy red ensemble during the launch.
The beloved show saw the introduction of the first ever house lodger, with Sharon Osbourne the first big name to move in for a guest stint.
Branding herself the ‘original reality star,’ Sharon appeared on the first four series of The X Factor from 2004 to 2007, the 10th series in 2013, and the 13th and 14th series from 2016 to 2017, with Louis starring alongside her.
Mere minutes after moving into the house, Sharon was tasked with showing off her judging skills, by choosing which housemates will face the first public vote of the series.
And Sharon was soon reunited with her X Factor partner-in-crime, as it was also revealed that Louis Walsh would be moving into the house.

As the duo were whisked off to a secret layer to watch the other stars enter, viewers at home took to X, formerly Twitter, loving the show’s early twist.
One wrote: ‘Secret task already??! This is well brutal’.
While a second said: ‘A secret mission already lol. Of course’.
Someone else added: ‘Sharon Osbourne the first person into the house! Secret mission already begun’.
And: ‘the live launch secret mission returns’.
