Kirstie Allsopp has revealed to her Twitter followers that she accidentally swallowed an AirPod.

The Location Location Location presenter had a mishap with her vitamins that nearly led to a trip to hospital.

She wrote on Twitter: "In other news I just swallowed an AirPod while downing my vitamins, I don’t recommend it. I’ve managed to chuck it back up without having to go to hospital, but my throat is really quite sore."

The outspoken TV host also outlined how she did it: “AirPods in pocket, put vitamins in pocket while getting glass of water, chucked vitamins into mouth, gulped water, go for second lot, see one AirPod in hand, check pocket, check handbag.

"Realise there’s only one place it could be."

Earlier this week, the star spoke out about the US Supreme Court overturning Roe vs Wade which outlaws abortion in many states in America.

She wrote about the reaction to the court's decision to severely restrict access to abortion: “The number of men dancing around on Twitter thrilled by the reversal of Roe versus Wade makes me want to vomit. Please pipe down, you are NEVER going to have to make this choice.”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson also criticised the decision, saying: “I think it is a big step backwards.”

A number of stars performing at Glastonbury also attacked the decision including headliner Kendrick Lamar who finished his set by repeating "godspeed for women's rights".

Other artists such as Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Phoebe Bridgers also spoke out against the ruling.

Bridgers led her audience into a chant of "f*** the Supreme Court" while Rodrigo named each of the court justices and said "we hate you" before bringing out Lily Allen for a performance of "F*** You" dedicated to them.

Eilish, who headlined the Friday night, criticised the ruling and said: "Today is a really, really dark day for women in the US."
