Gogglebox star Steph Parker revealed she just was '20 minutes from death' when she was struck by pneumonia on Boxing Day.
The 52-year-old reality star, who is famous for gin-fuelled commentary on the Channel 4 show alongside husband Dom, says she started going 'a bit mad' due to lack of oxygen and was rushed to hospital.
Steph told The Mirror: 'I had started going a bit mad because I had no oxygen in my system. But I didn’t even realise it because when you are that sick you don’t really know what’s going on at all.'

Dom, 54, says his wife has little memory of the 'near-death experience', and told the publication:' Steph had a cough and was moaning and complaining of feeling tired, but there was no temperature so I didn't think there was anything serious.'
But Dom revealed he noticed his wife suddenly went 'doolally' and their daughter Honor, 16, and Dom's mum Vivien persuaded them to call a doctor.
The call handler asked to speak to Steph and within minutes there was an ambulance at their front door in Beaulieu, Hampshire, to rush her to hospital.
Dom told the publication: 'I was astounded. The paramedic said, "Your wife is really rather ill – another 20 minutes and she might have been dead". Basically, her lungs were stuffed.'
