A report from Daily Mail states that BT Sport's lead commentator, Darren Fletcher, was taken to the hospital in the wee hours of Wednesday morning due to anaphylactic shock.

Fletcher's acute and potentially fatal allergic response made him have trouble breathing, prompting his hasty admittance to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.

Fletcher is recovering from his ordeal and has thanked the "amazing" medical staff he encountered at the hospital in a series of social media posts.

A tweet he posted read:

A scary early-morning episode of anaphylaxis shock caused by an unknown allergen. A lot of trouble breathing, but the QMC staff has been great.
