When is A&E Live on ITV?

A&E Live continues TONIGHT, Thursday, May 24, at 9pm on ITV.

The three-part series started on Tuesday 22 and concludes tonight.

Davina exclusively revealed to The Sun that her fear of blood means there's a huge risk of her fainting on the show.

She said: “I have to brace myself. I’m very squeamish.

"I think I’m going to need to see a hypnotist beforehand because I’m not very good with blood.

"I’m great with my kids’ blood, but not with anybody else’s.

"That would be terrible if the presenter faints live on air, wouldn’t it?”

What hospital is host Davina McCall visiting?

The series is filmed live at Leeds General Infirmary's A&E department.

Leeds General is one of the leading trauma centres in the UK, and Davina believes it's the perfect place to applaud the work of the NHS on its 70th anniversary.

“They get two requests a week to film there, but have turned everything down,” reveals the TV presenter.

“But they realised that this was going to be celebratory. We’re basically saying: ‘Listen up, we know there’s bad press about the NHS but, actually, every day amazing miracles are happening thanks to them'."
