'Flog It!' star Michael Baggott sparks concern after sharing a series of videos from his hospital bed , revealing he's been bed-bound for five weeks following a stroke and claims he's been left 'dying of thirst' at Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham.
The BBC antiques expert, 65, had been in hospital since suffering a stroke in October, a statement posted on his social media confirmed on Monday evening.
Birmingham-born Michael had left fans worried in early December after sharing a series of videos from his hospital bed. 'For the last three days, I've been given a litre of water, which has been insufficient to stop me being dehydrated. 'I want to say the nursing staff, the junior doctors here, have been the saving grace. They all want to help but they can't. The senior management and the senior doctors, who I never see, always refuse water, always refuse treatment.
He made a series of jokes about his health as he shared his expertise with followers, writing in a December 10 tweet: 'Life changing events give you a new outlook, a new peace, a new gentility, a different frame of mind… BUT you'd have to run me over with a steamroller, several times, before I thought you'd get anywhere near £6-800 for this!!!' alongside a screengrab from Antiques Roadshow.
His final X post was shared on December 29, as he criticised another episode of Antiques Roadshow: 'Expert: I can see these date London in 1758. Well, he must've had a f**king time machine because they've got the date letter for 1762 struck on them. You can get away with this s**t when I'm dead, not before#AntiquesRoadshow.'
