Tommy Little reveals he was hospitalised after suffering a severe asthma attack

FOX radio host and comedian Tommy Little has opened up on a life-threatening medical episode that saw him hospitalised while holidaying.

Tommy Little has revealed he was hospitalised after suffering a severe asthma attack.

Little was visiting friends on the Gold Coast when he struggled to breathe and saw a doctor.

“I went backwards health wise so I went to the doctor and she panicked,’’ he said on his FOX FM radio show with Carrie Bickmore.

“She said are you concerned about your breath, I said why, (she said) because you’re breathing like a 90 year old smoker.

“She goes I would be telling you to go to hospital now, but you won’t.

“I’m going to write you out an asthma action plan. If it doesn’t get any better in a few hours go to hospital.”

Little, who had an asthma attack as a kid, said he had also burst an ear drum and was vomiting.

“I stood up in my hotel room and I just couldn’t breathe,’’ he said.

“I went downstairs and got in a cab and showed the cabbie a picture of the hospital. She was a real gorgeous Aussie woman and she said you’re that guy from the TV.

“I couldn’t talk and she said darl, you’re not well.”

Little is on the road to recovery after Bickmore noted his “attention grabbing Instagram post”.

“I was actually genuinely upset and worried about you which is why I took my communication off the social media world and into the real world,’’ she said.
