Breakfast radio host Amanda Keller remains in hospital after suffering cardiac symptoms while attending the premiere of Angelina Jolie’s new film ‘Unbroken’.
The much-loved WSFM presenter was at the Sydney event with her co-host Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones when she started feeling unwell.
“Next thing she’s in the hospital getting tests, which is the wise thing to do,” Jonesy told listeners of the popular Jonesy and Amanda show this morning.

Woman’s Day understands the radio star spent the night in hospital and will undergo “final tests” before she is allowed to return home.
Calling into the studio from her hospital bed, Amanda told her listeners that she’s feeling okay.
“I’ve done some work with the Victor Change Foundation and I know that symptoms of heart attacks for women aren’t what they are for men,” she said.
“I had the tightness in my chest, I was sweaty and hot.”
“Everything seems to be fine. I’ve had ECGs and chest X-rays, I’ve had blood tests.”
A spokesperson for Amanda’s employer ARN has since released a statement which reads:
“She’s still in hospital now for final tests and she called into Jonesy on WSFM this morning,” the statement said. “Needless to say, she’s an absolute trooper and all at ARN wish her a speedy recovery!”
Meanwhile, fellow journalist and friend, Lisa Wilkinson, took to twitter this morning to wish Amanda a quick recovery.
“Sending big love this morning to radio & TV host Amanda Keller who’s in hospital aft suffering cardiac issues at a movie premiere last night.”
