    The BBC sports broadcaster Jennie Gow has said she is recovering from a serious stroke.

    The 45-year-old, who covers Formula 1 for Radio 5 Live, wrote on social media that she had been treated at hospitals in London and Surrey, and her recovery "might take some time".

    Ms Gow said the stroke two weeks ago had affected her speech.

    Dozens of fellow broadcasters and motorsport firms have tweeted messages of support.

    Announcing her condition on Twitter and Instagram, the presenter said: "My husband is helping me type this, as I'm finding it hard to write and my speech is most affected.

    "I'm desperate to make a full recovery and return to work.

    "Thank you to the medical teams at Frimley and St George's, and my family and friends who've got me through the last fortnight."

    In response, Formula 1 Racing tweeted: "Thinking of you Jennie, and wishing you all the very best with your recovery."

    The McLaren racing team said: "The entire team sends their love and strength as we look forward to seeing you back in the paddock."

    Broadcasters Hazel Southwell, Laura Winter and Dan Walker are among those who have tweeted messages of sympathy.

    Jennie Gow has covered Formula 1 and other motorsport events for the BBC, ITV, Netflix and Sky TV.

    The Southampton-born presenter, who grew up in Wargrave, Berkshire, began her broadcasting career at BBC Radio Solent before working for commercial radio stations in the south of England.

    Niners are beatable. Anyway, need to win tomorrow first.

    This Vikings team just isn’t very good. They obviously have strong self belief to win as many close games as they have done, but I think it will be a similar score line to the Seahawks Niners game if they beat the Giants

    I know they're not great but I think a lot of the blame has to go on the defensive co-ordinator. They don't even look like a unit.

    Yeah he will be sacked at the end of the season. They’ve got some talented players on D, albeit most of them are old now. I assume they will go defence heavy in the draft this year

    Cousins and co need to spend the remaining 3 mins or so of the half on the field. Defence is cooked.

    Important drive from Cousins to get that TD. I was bemused NY declined a penalty - I would rather face a 2nd and 19 than a 3rd and 9.

    This defence is so bad <laugh>

    Every play someone wide open. Only chance they ever have is if they get immediate pressure on the QB
