The This Morning presenter shared the story on Instagram, revealing that the gardener had entered anaphylactic shock after been stung three times by a bee.
However, thanks to the emergency services’ response, the man was able to receive help within just a few minutes.
In an Instagram story, Schofield shared a picture of the ambulance outside his house.
Over the picture, he wrote the message: “When the gardener next door is stung three times by a bee and goes into anaphylactic shock.
“And our incredible ambulance and paramedic team are here in three minutes!! We are SO lucky to have them.
“He’s going to be fine thanks to them, thank you,” he added.
Schofield is currently taking a holiday from This Morning , which he ordinarily hosts alongside Holly Willoughby.
Fans of the ITV morning talk show were recently delighted to see Schofield and Willoughby make a guest appearance on the popular Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
