“It’s a week on now, over a week on, I’m not playing the ‘what if’ game, but I guess you’ve got to stop that and just be thankful.
“And I am eternally thankful for the care I got from the healthcare staff, the support I got from you and those around me.
“You count your lucky stars,” he confessed.
The star continued: “I call this ‘wear sunscreen’, because there was a song, it wasn’t a song, it was a strange talky thing years ago and it just talks about all the things we worry about in life and it’s never that that gets us.
“I guess I’m trying to think about slowing down, trying to think about not sweating the small stuff.
“I don’t want to preach to you at all, but I have a couple of thoughts, one of which is if you have any symptoms like the ones I had which are shortness of breath, tightness in chest, get yourself to A&E ASAP because it could save your life,” he added.
It comes after Martin told how he had been rushed to hospital with just “hours to live” after fluid started gathering around his heart.
After undergoing emergency surgery to save his life, the Homes Under The Hammer star told how he feels “very lucky to be here” following the scare.
