UK television presenter Kirstie Allsopp has been flown to hospital and operated on after taking a fall during a family holiday in north Devon.<\/p>\n

Allsopp, 55, was celebrating her birthday with her youngest son Oscar when she slipped on a muddy patch of a steep path on her way back from the beach.<\/p>\n

The Location Location Location host said on social media the birthday holiday was an annual tradition.<\/p>\n

“Almost every year since Oscar was born, we have celebrated my birthday at Meadowgate, one of my favourite places on earth,” Allsopp explained.<\/p>\n

“We have a picnic on the beach at Welcombe Mouth, a swim and a walk back to the house for some cake.”<\/p>\n

The presenter went on to say her son ran to get help from paramedics and first responders, who gave her a “huge amount” of painkillers.<\/p>\n

Despite not being fully alert, Allsopp acknowledged the help she received from medical professionals, saying it took many people to get her to recovery.<\/p>\n

“It took a whole host of people to get me to hospital,” she said. “Everyone at Barnstaple hospital has been amazing, kind and caring, so many lovely people doing their absolute best.”<\/p>\n

Allsopp reassured her followers she was on the mend and that her hospital stay was almost over.<\/p>\n

“They have operated on the leg and I\u2019ll be home soon. It\u2019ll 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.”<\/p>\n

Typically finding humour in the situation, Allsopp said it was “not a birthday I am going to forget in a hurry”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UK television presenter Kirstie Allsopp has been flown to hospital and operated on after taking a fall during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":588602,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,111,139,69,417,1745],"class_list":["post-588601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-television","tag-uk-europe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=588601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588601\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/588602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=588601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=588601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=588601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
