Blue Peter's Gethin Jones needed medical treatment after he collapsed during an extensive workout with Kevin Mitchell.
Jones had been filming a segment for the children's show in which he tried a strenuous workout with boxer Kevin Mitchell and his personal trainer, Paul Cook. However, medics had to attend to the presenter, who is a keen rugby player, after he began to feel extremely unwell during the exercises.
A BBC spokesperson said: "He felt extremely unwell [during the workout], so an ambulance was called.
"But the medics decided Gethin didn't have to go to hospital and he's fine now."
Viewers are expected to see the workout when the episode of the show is aired.
The BBC spokeswoman said: "We expect it to be part of his full report."
