A woman who says she "died and came back to life" after being given just a six per cent chance of pulling through - and says it's thanks to an 'angel'.
Kirsty Bortoft, 49, was working from home and finishing off for the weekend when her partner, Stu Clark, 47, a managing director of a car dealership, returned home to her lifeless body on the sofa in January 2021.
He immediately started doing CPR and called the emergency services who arrived within six minutes - where they restarted Kirsty's heart using a defibrillator.

00:00 My now fiancee Stu, who found me not breathing, sat on the sofa with a laptop on the floor.
00:05 Now if you're not into like mystical near-death experience things then scroll on by.
00:09 Quick recap.
00:10 We know on the Friday it happened, I was last seen on WhatsApp at 4.49.
00:15 Yeah so I have WhatsApp on my laptop open all day because I use it to communicate with my clients.
00:18 At 5.29 my now fiancee Stu, who found me not breathing, sat on the sofa with a laptop on the floor.
00:25 The next hour was hectic.
00:27 Stu did CPR, there was ambulances, it was an hour before they could stabilise my heart.
00:31 I was put into an induced coma.
00:33 This one thing's got a bit weird.
00:34 So my body was clearly in the hospital but my spirit was something completely different.
00:40 Now my friend Claire, she's a psychic and lives in Spain, but I've gone to her and asked her to write me some lists.
00:46 I had three sons and I wanted to write these lists to them.
00:49 She refused and told me categorically to get back into my body.
00:53 But I was distressed and I did say to her I don't know if I can.
00:56 Now obviously you and I communicate in these three words like we're having a chat.
00:59 It wasn't like that.
01:01 Apparently I was there for two hours trying.
01:03 The weird part of it is back in Scarborough Hospital, Stu has been told that I probably wasn't going to make it.
01:07 Now I don't know where I was between that point and returning to my body.
01:13 Sadly there was no white beings that came and chatted to me.
01:15 One of the biggest questions I get asked is do I not worry it'll happen again?
01:18 And the answer quite frankly is no.
01:21 [Music]
01:23 You experience something like this, you're never the same person.
01:36 This version is much braver.
01:38 She doesn't worry, it sticks in her chin and she understands that not everyone will get it and that's okay.
01:44 But that plenty of you absolutely will get it.
01:47 And you know who you are so this message is for you.
01:50 Number one, gratitude must be practiced daily.
01:52 Two, you're divinely protected.
01:54 Three, you've committed to wake up, grow and refine your vibration.
01:58 Four, the real school is the school of life and love is the only healer.
02:01 Five, you're incredibly important.
02:04 Six, life might throw challenges but without dark you would not know what light was.
02:07 And seven, you are here to experience a spectrum of emotions.
02:11 You are not here to hold on to them, to beat yourself up or suffer.
02:15 I came back on Sunday with zero brain damage.
02:17 Lots of weird and wonderful godisms happened in that 48 hours.
02:21 First one that came was a costume.
02:25 June, my fiance, this is when it starts to get really weird so if you're not into stuff like this then scroll on by.
02:30 I have a friend in Spain who's a psychic who did not know what was going on in England.
02:36 Gets in touch with my sister who lives in Australia saying what the heck's going on, I've got cursed spirit in my front room.
02:41 Well what happened next is a whole other video I'm afraid.
02:44 When you get a second chance at life you do not waste it on overthinking
02:48 because you're too busy being so grateful for your life.
