Laura Tobin thanked Dr. Hilary for saving both her and her baby’s life after going into premature labour.
The weather presenter revealed that she went into labour with her now 18-month-old daughter Charlotte 27 weeks early while working at the ITV offices and insisted that had it not been for Hilary getting her "safely" to the hospital, it could have been a "very different story" for the pair.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’ – which was celebrating the doctor’s 30 years in breakfast TV – she said: "I was at work and I thought I just had a bit of tummy pain or Braxton Hicks and it was only Dr. Hilary that knew I was actually going into labour at 27 weeks.
"Dr. Hilary phoned the hospital, got me there safely, kept me calm and sort of kept me in the dark for a while so I didn’t panic. Because of him, Charlotte arrived safely and it could have been a very different story for both of us, so thank you."
The 37-year-old star previously shared that Charlotte – who she has with husband Dean Brown – weighed only 2.5lbs when she born and her lungs weren’t fully-formed.
She has explained: "Lots of babies that are born prematurely, their lungs don’t work, they have chronic lung disease. They all have oxygen support for a long time.
"However, the bigger she got, the stronger she got, and then she came home off oxygen which is amazing. But it means she’s really susceptible to coughs and colds and things. I carry around a bottle of anti bacterial gel wherever I go."
