King’s fiancé, former England cricketer Stuart Broad, found her on the floor and helped bring her round.

After the incident, King was absent from the airwaves for fourteen days , prompting speculation among listeners. As she noted, “I can’t wait to be back on the radio with Matt today,” signalling a return to her regular slot.
