Watch Terrifying moment ex-Premier League Legend collapsed on live TV

The shocking incident occurred before Sunday night’s pre-season friendly between Real Madrid and AC Milan.

But after giving colleagues and viewers a major scare, Hislop is now “conscious and recovering”, with his co-host jokingly calling him “silly.”

The ex-West Ham and Newcastle goalkeeper, 54, retired from professional football in 2007.

And Hislop now works as a pundit for American broadcaster ESPN.

The two-time FA Cup finalist was in action overnight as Real Madrid beat AC Milan 3-2 in a pre-season friendly.

But Hislop gave viewers and ESPN host Dan Thomas a huge fright when he passed out live on air before kick-off.

With the temperature in Pasadena, California around 30 degrees celsius, dramatic footage captured the moment Hislop began to sway before falling forwards and onto the ground.

A panicked Thomas immediately went to his side while calling out for medical help.

And the camera quickly cut away to a commercial break, leaving viewers stunned.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Shaka Hislop after he passed out live on the ESPN broadcast of AC Milan vs. Real Madrid. Glad to hear he's conscious now, and the medics are looking after him. #ShakaHislop
