Martin Roberts was rushed to hospital in 2019 too
This isn't the first time the presenter has had to be rushed to hospital. Back in 2019 he had to receive urgent medical attention after coming into contact with a toxic plant.
Martin told fans that he had touched a plant called Euphorbia while gardening at home and had inadvertently rubbed sap into his eye.

He warned his followers: "When you cut it, as I did, it produces a sap and if you get that on your hands, or worse if you get it on your eyes, then it causes some serious issues, and that's exactly where I am right now."
He continued: "It will start stinging. It's got worse and worse and worse as the evening's gone on, so I couldn't sleep and now I'm waiting to see a doctor. So listen, look out for this plant, Euphorbia."
We're sending Martin well wishes for his recovery.
