Following the long-distance race that she and her husband Jeremy Parisi participated in, London Marathon runner Kelly Brook has revealed that she has been in the hospital with an injury.
Radio host Kelly Brook has announced that she ended up in hospital after running the London Marathon on the weekend. Alongside her husband Jeremy Parisi, she was among the celebrities who took part in the annual event.
Kelly, 45, was one of the runners in the long-distance race on Sunday, with her having completed it in just over six and half hours. The Loose Women panellist – who had kept fans updated on her training – said in a post on Instagram after the marathon in London that she was “sore but happy”. The Heart Radio presenter has since announced that she’s been diagnosed with a stress fracture on her foot. The NHS describes those fractures as “tiny cracks in the bone caused by overuse”.
They are “quite common” for people running a marathon for the first time, according to Kelly, who previously stated she hadn’t run more than 5k.
On her Heart Drive show this afternoon, Kelly mentioned having broken her foot. She is now wearing a medical boot. She mentioned on the radio station that she might be wearing a recovery boot for up to six weeks.
She said: “I went for a post-marathon scan on my foot today. I’ve been following Jenni Falconer who also ran the London Marathon.” Kelly added: “She’s all strapped up in a boot, someone stamped on her foot and cracked a bone.”
Kelly continued: “My foot looked a bit like hers’ so I sent her a picture and she said ‘go get an X-ray!’ Well, I’ve walked to three hospitals to be told I’ve got a broken foot. I was like I could have told you that at hospital number one!”
She added: “I cannot believe the ordeal! What time is it now? Four-thirty. I set off at nine o’clock this morning, I’m not joking!” The former Celebrity Race Across the World contestant suggested in the discussion that she visited several hospitals, including one that didn’t have an MRI to assess her apparent injury.
Kelly is alleged to have said, “Someone wheeled me out to the road and then just offloaded me, and I had to hobble across the road to another hospital who then didn’t have an MRI.” Oh my goodness, it’s been a lot of pain! They only directed me to a cashier so I could pay for it, “!
She added, “It seems like I have a stress fracture, which is quite common with first-time marathon runners because we don’t know what we’re doing.” So I’m in a boot, which appears to last for six weeks. But I do “have a medal”!
In a recent social media photo, Kelly and her husband Jeremy, 39, both received medals after finishing the marathon. She also shared images of the boot she’s currently wearing following the injury.
Kelly also made fun of the injury by saying on the radio that she once “heard a crack.” She said, “I heard a crack, and I didn’t know if it was a blister popping or a bone; let’s just keep going”!
