Nick Grimshaw rushed to hospital during radio show

Nick Grimshaw was rushed to hospital during his BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show this morning.

The DJ sought medical attention while live on air after he swallowed glass that was in a mug he was drinking from.

A Radio 1 spokesperson said that the glass is believed to have come from a dishwasher, though the exact cause of the incident is still being looked in to.

Fearne Cotton stepped in while Grimshaw was sent for an emergency X-ray.

“He’s going to be absolutely fine. He’s just gone to hospital to have a little check,” Ferne told the Breakfast Show listeners.

Grimshaw has since assured fans he is fine, tweeting: “Went to hospy, had X-rays, coughed it up, all fine now. I can eat glass in a circus now if all else fails.”

He added: “Thanks to @Fearnecotton for standing in.”

A Radio 1 rep added: “Nick has been given the all clear following a precautionary visit to hospital after swallowing a shard of glass in his coffee during his show.”
