The One Show star in horror hospital dash after being left with ‘excruciating pain’ as fans flood her with support
A FAN-favourite on The One Show has opened up about being rushed to hospital with a condition that left her in agony.
Lucy Siegle is a British environmental journalist who often appears on the current affairs programme as a host.
She told followers that she had to be taken to the accident and emergency ward after suffering from excruciating pain.
Docs discovered she had a large kidney stone and scheduled Lucy in for lithotripsy - an ultrasound treatment that breaks the hard mass down into small particles that the body can get rid of naturally.
The good humoured journalist jokingly referenced her frequent segments on climate change, sharing: "Turning to my own failing ecosystem!"
She continued: "Spent mon night with excruciating pain in A&E - large kidney stone causing havoc.

"I’m a prodigious stone former apparently (at last found something to excel at).
"Having lithotripsy tomorrow. Anyone had it? After effects? Did it WORK?!";
Concerned fans flooded to the comments to wish her a speedy recovery.
One person wrote: "Poor you, sounds really horrid. Hope the treatment works and that you’re back on your feet soon."
Another well-wisher added: "Hope it works and you’re better soon. Horrible things. x"
Others who have been through the procedure told her about their experiences.
The film looks at the effects of fast fashion on poorly paid workers in developing countries, and eventually, the environment.
Lucy has also written books called Turning the Tide on Plastic: How Humanity (and you) Can Make Our Globe Clean Again and To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing out the World.
Viewers of The One Show were previously moved by another health scare as as Alex Jones interviewed a man who suffered a near death experience on a plane.
The 47-year-old TV star and her co-host introduced the One Big Thank You section by explaining that Mike Butcher was jetting off to a sunny holiday in Portugal when he suddenly stopped breathing.
Everyone around him was unaware that he had gone into a cardiac arrest, but the brave cabin crew quickly sprung into action by rushing to his side and giving him CPR while waiting for the emergency services to arrive.
Fortunately, the CPR administered saved Mike's life before he was rushed to hospital by medical professionals.

After the incident, Mike recovered in hospital but was keen to thank the cabin crew who had saved his life.
The One Show surprised Mike by reuniting him with his "three angels" live on air.
