Kirstie Allsopp left people confused after revealing she managed to swallow one of her AirPods over the weekend. The Location, Location, Location star said she made the mistake while taking her vitamins, which she had in her pocket with her earphones.
But the TV presenter, who avoided an emergency dash to hospital by throwing up the AirPod, was subjected to abuse on social media after sharing her mishap. She tweeted: "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."
As Twitter users reacted with disbelief @truthiness2010 told her: "I think a video showing one of these going down the hatch could put this matter to bed entirely." And she replied: "Never again! Getting it, back up was agony and I’ve burst some little blood vessels around my eyes."
