Monty Don health: Gardeners’ World host’s near-death experience after feeling ‘strange’

“I turned to Sarah and said ‘Hold me because I think I’m dying and, if I am, I want to die in your arms’,” the presenter explained.

Despite the event, Don did not visit his GP until a month later.

An MRI scan showed an artery blockage in the star’s brain and the doctor confirmed he had suffered a mini-stroke, he told the Mail.

After his diagnosis, he was advised to take aspirin–a blood-thinning medication.
