During one heartfelt moment, the medics revealed personal health struggles they or their loved ones have faced, with Dr Amir disclosing the devastating news that his cherished mum is battling a brain tumour.

“I haven’t talked about this publicly before, actually. My mum, whom I call ‘Mumma Khan’, has an active brain tumour,” he revealed to his colleagues and viewers. “She was diagnosed, I think, a year or so ago. I think I’m going to get a bit emotional, actually!”

Dr Amir gathered himself and held back his emotions before continuing to detail his mother’s health struggle and the care she has received, reports Belfast Live.

“So, she had a droopy eyelid for quite a while. We didn’t really think too much of it, and it became more apparent in photographs.”

“We went to see an optician, who said it could be a lazy eye, and then we went to see an eye surgeon, who said similar things,” he revealed.

Recounting the journey to his mother’s brain tumour diagnosis, he said: “We went through several  doctors, and eventually, in an outpatient clinic, she saw a very junior doctor, who did a very thorough examination and realised her eye wasn’t moving as well as it should. It wasn’t reacting to light as well as it should.”

Dr Amir, a regular face on Lorraine and This Morning, confessed to feeling “guilt” as he hadn’t detected his mum’s tumour and “didn’t examine her to that degree”.

The ITV personality continued: “She had an MRI scan and it showed she’s got a brain tumour pressing on something called her optic chiasm, which is where the nerves and blood vessels to the eye are.

“They can’t operate on it because of where it is, which means she’s palliative. It’s symptom relief. So, she’s had five weeks of radiotherapy.”

In other parts of the segment, Dr Hilary discussed his recent hip replacement, while Dr Zoe opened up about her health issues, and Dr Nighat shared the heartbreaking story of her son’s fight with liver cancer.
