Extreme Makeover: Home Edition host Ty Pennington has revealed he was rushed to hospital after a worrying health scare.

The 58-year-old opened up about a rollercoaster few days, which began with his appearance at the star-studded Barbie premiere in LA and a win for his Battle of the Beach team.

In a new post on Instagram, the HGTV icon shared photos from his hospital bed, explaining that he was taken into intensive care after he woke up and was unable to breathe properly.

‘From the red carpet, to the ICU… this last week has been interesting,’ he began. ‘I’m okay now, still recovering but I felt it looked weird that I hadn’t posted about my teams #BOTB VICTORY!!

‘SO freaking proud of @smashingdiy & @iamstevelewis!! Will post about that next.

‘To shed some light on why I was MIA… Sunday I hit the red carpet for @barbiethemovie, Monday I flew to Colorado to start filming in Breckinridge and Tuesday morning I woke up at 4am and could barely breathe.
