This Morning star Alison Hammond revealed an injured wrist just weeks after the programme was cut short due to her health scare.
Viewers of the ITV show were left worried earlier this month when Alison rushed out of the studio appearing to clutch her chest.
The presenter, 51, was checked out at a hospital, where she shared an assuring video to fans, saying she suffered a panic attack.
Today, the TV host appeared on This Morning cheerful but donning a visible wrist support.

Co-host Dermot O’Leary referenced the health scare as he addressed the elephant in the room: ‘Can we go one week without some sort of crisis? No this isn’t an MJ [Michael Jackson] style, this is because […] what happened?’
Alison, who had paired the wrist aid with gold jewellery, revealed she tripped while filming a TikTok.
She said: ‘I was doing a little TikTok with my friend and basically there was a rock in the middle of the floor and I didn’t see it because I had sunglasses on.
‘It was a decorative rock, I didn’t have my glasses on, didn’t see the rock.. fell over the rock.’
Dermot revealed he had seen the footage of the fall and testified that she suffered a ‘proper plant.’
The 51-year-old admitted she really ‘went down’ but is ‘fine’ now.
She added: ‘I’m a little bit injured, but I’ve got it all strapped up. But I think it looks sick!’
Alison returned to This Morning on Friday, days after the incident, which happened halfway through a segment about pets.
Speaking to Dermot, she said: ‘All I can say is, in that moment it was one of the scariest things I’ve ever been through. It was surreal.
‘I felt like I went into the other world, what’s that show that I love? Stranger Things, when you go into the upside-down world.
‘I couldn’t grasp my breath. It was a panic attack.
‘I feel guilty that I didn’t have a heart condition or anything. It was such a fuss.
‘I’ve never experienced anything like that.
‘Secondly, it was live on TV, so I thought: ‘Oh my gosh, my son might be watching,’ so I just ran. I ran off TV.
‘I would never do that normally, but I just couldn’t catch my breath.’
