The ITV presenter, 62, detailed the worrying health scare which she claimed happened in the aftermath of a group reformer Pilates class.

Kaye, who previously told of her shock at being told she needs hearing aids in both ears, opened up on the moment “the world began to spin.”
Speaking candidly on her How to be 60 podcast she said: “Do you know what I’ve had recently, it’s the most bizarre thing.
“I went to my Pilates recently, the reformer Pilates, I call it disco Pilates, because it’s all bright lights and music.”
Kaye then told how she was having a “busy week” before her session and continued to describe the immediate moments after her class.
She said: “And I got off the reformer and my goodness the world began to spin.
“It was like a Tom and Jerry cartoon when there’s birds around the head.
“I was really scared actually it was horrible, I thought I was having a stroke.
“I just couldn’t get my balance.
“I’ve checked it out and apparently its vertigo, and now everyone I speak to has vertigo.
“I had never even heard of it before then.”
Kaye then told how she was sceptical when a pal confessed they had vertigo recently, and initially believed the condition to be “nonsense.”
According to the NHS: “Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition in itself.
“It’s the feeling that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning.”
Meanwhile, Kaye isn’t the only Loose Women star who enjoys the Pilates method of exercise.

FURTHER CONCERN
In another health woe, The Sun exclusively reported in 2023 how Kaye suffered a horror injury that left her unable to walk following a different fitness session.
She described how her leg gave way while walking through London.
Speaking on her How to be 60 podcast, Kaye said: “It was awful. My leg just gave up on me. I was in the middle of London. I was walking from Goodge Street to Bank and my leg literally stopped working.
“It was so embarrassing; I couldn’t get up the stairs at the tube station. You know when you put one leg up first and then you drag the other up, you look like Frankenstein’s Monster.
“I just couldn’t understand what was happening to me. Usually at a tube station I flamboyantly skip up and down the stairs – ‘look at me, I’m 60 and I’m skipping!’”
Kaye sustained the injury at a high intensity F45 workout.
The broadcaster, who launched How to be 60 last year, admitted: “I’m too old for them. It’s heavy duty circuit training, weights, burpees, all that sort of stuff.”
Last year, she was rushed to hospital after a “traumatic” health scare during Loose Women’s live show.
As Loose Women’s longest-serving presenter, she launched her podcast to help her confront her fears over ageing as she turned 60 and has previously featured a range of guests from Craig Revel Horwood and Denise Welch to Linda Robson, Jonathan Ross and Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver.
