Loose Women star Kaye Adams on ‘scary’ moment she thought she was having a ‘stroke’
Opening up to her co-star, Loose Women favourite Kaye 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,” she explained.
The former Strictly star explained that she was having a “busy week” before her class.
However, things took a turn for the worse for Kaye after she finished the class.
“And I got off the reformer and my goodness the world began to spin,” she said.

‘It was horrible’
Continuing, Kaye said: “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,” she then said.
“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,” she then continued.
She went on to say that she was skeptical recently when a friend had told her they’d had vertigo, as she believed the condition to be “nonsense”.
According to the NHS, vertigo is a symptom, rather an a condition. Vertigo makes you feel like everything is spinning around you, enough to affect your balance. It is more than feeling dizzy.
Kaye supported by fans
Taking to Instagram, Kaye uploaded a brief video of herself collapsing on her bed while Vic Reeves’ Dizzy played in the background.
“If you’ve listened to the podcast then this will make sense. If you haven’t then you’ll just think I’m a crazy old woman. Both of these statements are actually true,” she captioned the post.
“I heard you saying on your podcast episode today that you suffered with vertigo recently Kaye, I hope you’re ok,” one fan commented.
“Brandt darrof exercise..did this on 2 separate occasions ..it does work.. make sure to do it once a week when the vertigo has improved,” another said.
“It’s not a nice feeling,” a third agreed.
