Allsopp, who remains in hospital after emergency leg surgery, commented on the post, thanking the team, including Lotte.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo grateful, and love that you were able to see the sun set on my Birthday in my favourite spot,\u201d the Location, Location, Location host wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cMany Congratulations to Lotte, I hope I wasn\u2019t too unmanageable on all those painkillers you had quite the task on your hands on that path.\u201d<\/p>\n

The British presenter shared with fans yesterday how a birthday tradition this year nearly turned into tragedy<\/a>, as she slipped on a muddy patch on a steep path on a beach in Devon and had to be airlifted to hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost every year since Oscar was born we have celebrated my birthday at Meadowgate, one of my favourite places on earth. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a picnic on the beach at Welcombe Mouth, a swim and a walk back to the house for some cake,\u201d she told fans on Instagram.<\/p>\n

She did not make it to the house for cake and, after a nasty fall, had to be rescued and airlifted to hospital, where she underwent leg surgery.<\/p>\n

Allsopp struggled to remember many details of the incident and her rescue but thanked everyone responsible for getting her to hospital safely.<\/p>\n

The broadcaster paid tribute to the paramedics and ambulance workers who helped her.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod only knows what I was like to deal with high as a kite! Everyone at Barnstaple hospital has been amazing, kind and caring, so many lovely people doing their absolute best,\u201d she told followers.<\/p>\n

The TV host told fans surgery went well and she will be home soon and in \u201ca boot and crutches for a while\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Allsopp, who remains in hospital after emergency leg surgery, commented on the post, thanking the team, including Lotte.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589530,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[289879,7972,14801,35631,5972,2837,156,2109,13989,5904,9832,189,10933,3112,289878,685,1329,111,139,69,90,41167,8527,23419,437,1613,34890,6736,4478],"class_list":["post-589529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-allsopp","tag-beach","tag-british","tag-coastguard","tag-day","tag-during","tag-entertainment","tag-family","tag-fell","tag-final","tag-helped","tag-holiday","tag-injured","tag-job","tag-kirstie","tag-last","tag-member","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-on","tag-presenter","tag-rescue","tag-seriously","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-walk","tag-was","tag-workers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589529","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=589529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
