Kim Chiu and Darren Espanto were both rushed to the hospital as they prepared for their much-anticipated performances in It’s Showtime’s “Magpasikat” anniversary special. The two hosts had to seek medical attention due to undisclosed conditions, but both assured fans that they were on the mend.
Darren Espanto shared a hospital photo on Instagram, showing his bandaged hand with a “radiology” sign in the background. “Tinodo masiyado sa training (I over-exaggerated my training) for ‘Magpasikat’ 2024,” he captioned. He also took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask for prayers, saying, “Waiting for my x-ray results! Ok naman po ako (I’m okay).”
Kim Chiu also posted photos from inside an ambulance and later from the hospital, with a dextrose in her hand, captioning it, “Magpasikat realness” and “All good.”
Netizens expressed concern, reminding the celebrities to prioritize their health amidst their busy schedules. Both stars are preparing for It’s Showtime’s 15th anniversary, where the hosts compete in the talent showcase “Magpasikat.”
