Kirstie Allsopp has revealed she was rushed to hospital to undergo leg surgery after suffering a nasty fall during her recent family holiday.
The Location, Location, Location star, 55, has shared snaps of her bandaged foot after being airlifted to hospital while on the beach in Cornwall, following a fall on a ‘muddy step.’
Kirstie shared an image of her face covered in tubes as she prepared to undergo surgery on her leg.
The presenter told her followers she’d been enjoying a day on the beach to celebrate her birthday, and said it took ‘a whole host of people’ to help track down her location so an air ambulance could take her to the hospital.
She captioned the post: ‘Almost every year since Oscar was born we have celebrated my birthday at Meadowgate, one of my favourite places on earth.
‘We have a picnic on the beach at Welcombe Mouth, a swim and a walk back to the house for some cake, unfortunately I slipped on a muddy patch on the steep path, and it took a whole host of people to get me to hospital.

‘After a little wait while poor Oscar ran as fast as he could to get help, and the @rnli_bude_lifeboat paramedics & @cornwallairamb tracked me down (I #whatthreewords) I was given a huge amount of painkillers so I omitted to ask anyone for their social media details, but if this post is wrong I hope someone will tell me.
‘I remember Chris and Jeremy & I think there was a Lee, and there was definitely young Jake in the ambulance.
‘But according to Ben & the boys I have far more people than that to thank. God only knows what I was like to deal with high as a kite!
‘Everyone at Barnstaple hospital has been amazing, kind & caring, so many lovely people doing their absolute best.
‘They have operated on the leg and I’ll be home soon. It’ll be a boot and crutches for a while but I feel very, very lucky that it was possible to reach me and get me to hospital so quickly, and I have a job that I can do on crutches.
‘Not a birthday I am going to forget in a hurry and again, THANK YOU to all those who have been involved in my care.’
