Get Me Out Of Here! winner, 80, appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss the terrifying health battle which saw him fall ill with sepsis after a tooth extraction.

Talking to hosts Richared Madeley and Susanna Reid, he shared how he was diagnosed with sepsis and pneumonia, as he explained "My blood was infected, which got into the heart.

So I'm quite lucky to be around." Asked if it was a "brush with death", Tony replied: "I think so, nobody quite tells me so I'm not quite sure. "I remember being rushed to A&E and I had this thing up my nose for oxgen and everything and the guy said to me 'I think you're going to be in hospital for a while' "I said 'I can't do that I've got a show in two days' so he said 'I don't think you're going to make it'" Recalling how he fell ill, Tony continued: "I got [sepsis] from having a tooth extraction." During the same episode of Good Morning Britain, both Chesney Hawkes and Richard opened up about their own near-death experiences, with Chesney fearing for his life when their plane dropped 20,000ft in the air due to a significant drop in cabin pressure.
