Mollie King Was Rushed To Hospital After ‘Sudden Collapse’ At Home

Radio 1 presenter Mollie King has opened up about the sudden accident that led to her taking a two-week break from the airwaves.

On Monday morning, the former Saturdays performer shared that she would be returning to Radio 1 after an accident at her home led to her taking some time off from work.

“Many of you have kindly messaged me over the past two weeks asking why I haven’t been on air – thank you so much for checking in!” she wrote on Instagram.

“After coming home late from work, I suddenly collapsed unconscious on the bathroom floor at 4am, hitting my head and face as I fell. It was a huge shock and I ended up being rushed to A&E.

“I keep thinking how grateful I am that I wasn’t on my own and had Stuart [Broad, her fiancé] to bring me round after I fell.”

Mollie went on to thank the medical staff who helped her after her accident, before sharing that the incident has been a “real wake-up call that I need to make some time to get my strength back, not just for my own health, but so I can be the best version of myself for my family too”.

She continued: “Yesterday was my first day doing anything social. After what has felt like a very long two weeks, it was amazing to get out and spend time with my girls. We even had the surprise of spotting Daddy on a big screen, which made us all smile.

“Thank you so much to everyone who has checked in on me, and for all the lovely birthday messages too. Your kindness has meant so much. I can’t wait to be back on the radio with Matt [Edmondson, her Radio 1 co-star] today.”

After initially rising to fame as a member of the chart-topping British girl group The Saturdays, Mollie joined Radio 1 as a permanent presenter in 2018.

She and her partner Stuart Broad welcomed their first child, a daughter named Annabella, in November 2022.

In January 2025, Mollie gave birth to the couple’s second daughter, Liliana.

Mollie confirmed last summer that she’d had to take time off Radio 1 to undergo surgery to treat an undisclosed medical issue, noting at the time that “everything went well and I’m doing much better now”.
