It is not yet known why she was taken to hospital or how serious it is.
The
news
came when Matt was speaking from Great Yarmouth Racecourse about the horse King of Bears, owned by Harry Redknapp, who is 78.
He said: 'So, King of Bears, just to say Harry Redknapp will be watching this horse from his hospital bed, but not his bed, his missus Sandra is just being treated in hospital at the moment.
'Sandra, if you're listening in - I think she wanted to watch Emmerdale, but Harry's making her watch this
race
- I really hope King of Bears runs well.

'He's a character. He could win it, he could finish last, but he gives Jack Doughty a big chance for [trainer] George Scott.'
However in the end, the King of Bears didn't win the race. Instead the 7/1 shot placed sixth.
Sandra has been married to the former football manager for 57 years now.
The pair were just 17 when they got together, and just three weeks ago on their anniversary he said: 'Where does the time go? I would be lost without you Sandra.'

I immediately had a feeling they've [the other women] been putting all the blame on Shakira even more than what we saw. "But my guess is they were even more trash talking Shakira on how she is trying to steal Harry, and it's 'all her doing'.. otherwise there was no reason to say this so strongly so many times. "What do you guys think? I like to try and 'outsmart' the producers by guessing what they edit out."

Love Island star Harry kisses Shakira's neck and goes in for a snog in very intimate snuggling moment "These are all really small things you can't really put into a short clip but you actively feel it when it happens to you."
