Saved by a heart transplant

We got through it and now have a much steadier look at life. It's nice.

Andrew Britton

Today, we look at the incredible story of triathlete Andrew Britton who lived to tell the tale after he 'died' SIX times on honeymoon.

Fitness fanatic Andrew suffered multiple cardiac arrests triggered by a virus while on holiday in the Maldives.

Miraculously he survived but subsequently spent the next year in hospital and was told a heart transplant was his only chance of survival.

Andrew's wife Lauren appeared on Lorraine in 2013 and months later a donor came forward.

Now Lauren has written a book about their amazing story, which has also seen the couple become parents, despite concerns his medication would leave him infertile.
