Michael told listeners: “It is Thursday morning, Michael Chequer in for David Fitzgerald who is feeling a little under the weather.
“He has left the studio to get himself checked out.
He is absolutely fine, we will keep you updated and let you know. He will be back with you ASAP.”

David took to Facebook last night to reassure concerned fans.
He said: “Just a little heart issue this morning, on the radio… thank you Derriford.”
The presenter also shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed plugged into various feeds.
A BBC spokesperson said: “Fitz is recovering well at home and is hoping to be back on air soon.”
David previously worked as a US presenter for Sky News, covering events including the arrest of OJ Simpson, the Waco siege and the Oklahoma bombings.
He also reported on the death of Princess Diana and the Bosnian War, as well as writing for Spitting Image and appearing as a Trivial Pursuit question.
