'Jeopardy' host Alex Trebek released from hospital after heart attack

Alex Trebek has been released from hospital after suffering a minor heart attack last week.

The Jeopardy! host was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles on Saturday (June 23).

Sony Pictures TV released a statement on Wednesday evening (June 27) saying that Trebek has made a full recovery

"I am happy to report that Alex has been released from the hospital and is back at his home," Sony spokesperson Paula Askanas confirmed.

During his time in hospital, the TV host was apparently "up and about" shortly after treatment.

Trebek previously suffered a minor heart attack in 2007, and recently injured his leg while chasing a burglar from his home.

The 71-year old presenter will reportedly be ready to start filming the 29th season of Jeopardy! in July.
