MOLLIE King was rushed to hospital following a terrifying accident at home which left her unconscious on the bathroom floor.
The BBC Radio 1 presenter, 38, has opened up on the ordeal in a statement posted to her Instagram grid, which also revealed why she had been absent from her show.
The Saturdays singer thanked fans for “checking in” before opening up on the late-night incident which saw her collapse at her house.
Mollie wrote: “After coming home late from work, I suddenly collapsed unconscious on the bathroom floor at 4am, hitting my head and face as I fell.
“It was a huge shock and I ended up being rushed to A&E”.
Praising her former England cricket star husband Stuart Broad, 39, the mum of two added: “I keep thinking how grateful I am that I wasn’t on my own and had Stuart to bring me round after I fell.
“A huge thank you to Amy and Hannah at St George’s Hospital who were absolutely incredible, stitching me up so well, and even managed to see past the Looney Tunes pyjama top I arrived in (must buy new pyjamas!)”.
Mollie, who presents her radio show with close pal Matt Edmondson, added: “It’s been a real wake-up call that I need to make some time to get my strength back, not just for my own health, but so I can be the best version of myself for my family too”.
Mollie told how she had embarked on “social” activities for the first time on Sunday, uploading a snap showing her covered up in a black leather jacket and white hat.
She was seen cuddling youngest Liliana, aged one, who was pointing to her sports star dad speaking on a screen.
Mollie gushed how the kindness of her fans had “meant so much” and confirmed she would be back presenting today.
Warnings over the popstar’s health have been raised in recent months.
In March, she pulled out of a TV appearance after medics advised her to “rest”.
She was set to appear on Sunday Brunch alongside comedian and radio co-star Matt to promote their new podcast, Novel Idea.
However on 5 Live she noted she had hurt her neck, and later discovered it was worse than anticipated.
Posting on Instagram about her absence, she wrote: “Hi Guys. Some of you may have heard me on 5 Live yesterday where I mention I’d pulled my neck.
“I went to see the physio yesterday afternoon and they’ve advised I have to rest, so sadly I won’t be able to appear on Sunday Brunch this morning as planned. I’m absolutely gutted.”
“The lovely Sunday Brunch team have said they’ll have Matt Edmondson and me back on in the coming weeks so we can chat about @novelideapod then, which I’m really grateful for,” she added.
“I’ll be watching from bed this morning instead! M x”
In August 2025, she was also noticeably absent from the airwaves.
She told how she had taken time off following “an operation” the previous month, yet did not disclose what this was.
