Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins faced a family medical emergency this Christmas when her father-in-law was taken ill and rushed to A&E. The 50-year-old mother of one revealed the drama on social media, explaining that her father-in-law required a pacemaker fitting.
Hawkins expressed her gratitude to the medical teams who cared for him, stating: 'My father-in-law had to be rushed to hospital from ours on Christmas Eve, but amazingly was back around the table less than 24 hours later after having a pacemaker fitted.' She thanked the paramedics and NHS staff who worked over the holiday period.
Fans offered their support, with messages such as 'Sending you all some peace and healing' and 'Happy New Year. So glad your FIL is ok.' The presenter has previously spoken about her father's battle with motor neurone disease, which led to his death in 2015 at age 78.
Hawkins serves as a patron of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and has highlighted the use of AI to replicate voices for those with the condition. She remains thankful that her father learned she was expecting her daughter before his passing.
