Celebrities such as Nick Knowles were present as the dramatic incident unfolded, which reportedly took place at the BBC Studios "Our Green Planet and RHS Bee Garden" feature. An onlooker told The Telegraph : "The garden was packed with lots of people and I think the woman must have fallen into the pond or tripped over and ended up in the water.
"I think she nearly drowned. She was pulled out by Ainsley Harriott and some other celebrities before they laid her down on the floor. She was coughing up lots of water."
