Dr Totton raised the alarm and called an ambulance whilst obtaining a vague history before the man lost consciousness.

She managed his airway and monitored his vital statistics.

After administering first aid the Apprentice winner remained with the man until he stablised and ambulance crews arrived.

She said: “People may know me from The Apprentice, but primarily I am a qualified doctor with experience in emergency medicine so trained to deal with situations like this. The moment I saw this man I could tell he was unwell and when I saw him collapse I did the natural thing and went to his aid.

“Luckily I was able to stabilise him by the time the ambulance arrived. I was just doing what I was trained to do and feel grateful to have been in the right place at the right time and able to help.”
