Following the occurrence, Thomas tweeted that Hislop was doing fine and informed viewers that the “medics are caring for him.”
“My mate Shaka is not here but excellent news: he’s conscious, talking, I believe he’s a little embarrassed about everything, said sorry a lot. Not a guy who likes individuals to complain of him. Obviously far prematurely to make any type of diagnosis however the important thing is that Shaka is conscious,” said Thomas.
