Kirstie Allsopp airlifted to hospital after breaking leg on birthday walk
Allsopp said rescuers used the What3words app to find her after a muddy slip left her with a broken leg and surgery.
- TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp was airlifted to Barnstaple Hospital after suffering a leg injury during a fall on a steep coastal path in Devon, requiring a major multi-agency rescue operation.
- On her birthday, Allsopp slipped on a muddy patch while walking back from a beach trip to Welcombe Mouth with family, prompting her son Oscar to sprint for help.
- Rescuers including the RNLI Bude Lifeboat crew and Cornwall Air Ambulance located the presenter using the What3words app, then administered "a huge amount of painkillers" before surgery.
- Following successful surgery, Allsopp expects recovery using a boot and crutches, stating she has "a job that I can do on crutches" and feels "very, very lucky" to have reached hospital quickly.
- Messages of support from well-wishers like Jools Holland followed the accident, which marks another serious fall after the star broke bones while filming in Stoke Newington in September 2023.
