The British presenter, Carol Vorderman, has revealed she was recently rushed to hospital after suffering a fall at home, which left her unconscious.
The TV personality, 65, took to Instagram to share details on the ordeal, which saw her trip over a tree root outside her home and "smashed onto the tarmac path."
The Countdown starlet explained in a candid video: "I've got a bit of a story to tell you about my concussion, which might also explain why I was a bit offline in June.
"So right at the very end of May, I was walking just outside my house on a public footpath, and I tripped over a tree root, which I didn't see.
"And I went smash here on the tarmac path, and I was unconscious. I can't remember what happened then, but I do know that an ambulance came, and I was taken to the BRI, Bristol Royal Infirmary.
The TV star added: "By the way, I also know that they were playing the final countdown in the ambulance on the way. It's another story, but it did make me laugh."
Carol explained that after being discharged, she suffered "all the bad signs", such as "massive vomiting", which landed her back in hospital the following day.
The Bedford-born star continued: "Straight back into hospital, they were wonderful. The A&E did all the CT scans and everything. Out again. I had the biggest black eye or bruises all down my face for three or four weeks.
"But what it did leave me with after about two or three weeks was dizziness. So I felt as though I was kind of walking on a moving ship, like sort of knocking into the wall a little bit."

"I am not a doctor. I am not advising people about this, but I'm just telling you what's happened to me," adding that following her being discharged, she is "happier than ever."
What is the Epely Manouvre?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, vertigo is often caused by the displacement of small calcium carbonate crystals, or canaliths, within your inner ear. The Epley manoeuvre is the most well-known canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) - and is a method to remove these crystals trapped in your ear’s semicircular canal to relieve symptoms. It is used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which Carol said she has as a result of her injury.
The treatment involves a series of head and body movements to shift the crystals in your ear back in place.
