The Bargain Hunt expert explained recently he'd suffered a heart attack just before he was due to film
Bargain Hunt star John Cameron has issued an update about returning to work, weeks on from a terrifying heart attack ordeal.
Cameron suffered a heart attack just minutes before he was due to film for the BBC antiques show and was treated in hospital, and thankfully it seems he'd made a promising recovery.
Earlier this month, the antiques expert took to Instagram to share the scary news, posting a snap of himself on his hospital bed giving a thumbs up.
He explained he'd suffered the heart attack just 10 minutes before he was due to film and was rushed to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, explaining he would need to have a stent fitted to unblock an artery.
Cameron has since taken to social media once again to update fans further on his progress, with his latest Instagram post explaining he'd soon be back at work.
Sharing a snap of himself sitting on his motorbike, he captioned the post: "Any recommendations for an MOT on my Harley? Its my last day off today and want to get her ready to ride back to work." (sic)
Fans will be pleased to know Cameron will be back filming soon, especially because his heart attack ordeal came so soon before he was due to get film a new episode of the BBC favourite.
A couple of weeks ago, he updated concerned fans, this time regarding his recovery following the ordeal.
He penned on Instagram: "Phase 1 of my rehabilitation is no more cigarettes, much less alcohol and more exercise, ie use the gym membership I have been paying for and not using for years!!!

"Phase 2 of my rehabilitation is to get my scooter and motorcycle back on the road and make time to use them instead of just paying for them and not using them like gym membership!
"Thanks to Gary Wells and Allstyles Scooters for helping me with phase two. Hadn’t ridden her for 2 years now she starts first kick again."
He went on to share another snap of himself smiling and seeming in good spirits alongside his pet dog, Polly.
He captioned the snap: "Today I will be mostly playing with Polly the Puppy. #borderterrier #supportthenhs."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Initially sharing the news a couple of weeks ago with a photo taken from his hospital bed, he explained to followers: "Not sure how many of my nine lives still remain but I definitely lost one yesterday.
"To quote the great ancient Chinese philosopher, Confucius, ‘We have two lives, the second one begins when you realise you only have one.’ I will now be switching to a more friendly and renewable light source over the candle I have been burning at both ends!
"Sorry also to my wife, children, grandchildren, staff and friends for scaring the ‘Eartha Kitt‘ out of them. #SupportTheNHS."
