A routine medical examination for a popular reality television show led to the life-saving diagnosis of a serious heart condition for former senior detective Amanda Collier. The 57-year-old retired Detective Chief Inspector, originally from Bolton and now residing in Brighton, was undergoing pre-show screenings when a CT scan revealed significant heart disease, a condition with a family history.
Collier expressed profound gratitude to the show's producers, stating that their "due diligence" was instrumental in her discovering the extent of her health issue. This timely revelation has allowed her to commence medication, modify her lifestyle, and receive regular monitoring from the NHS, placing her in a stable health situation.
Having since departed the show, Collier has swapped long-distance running for high-intensity interval training and has become an advocate for the British Heart Foundation. She aims to raise awareness that heart disease can affect individuals of all ages, emphasizing that it does not have to prevent people from pursuing their passions.
