Alison Hammond shows CCTV footage of her nasty fall which resulted in hospital dash

Alison Hammond showed the CCTV footage of a nasty fall she suffered, which led to her being rushed to hospital over a suspected blood clot.

The presenter, 46, opened up to co-host Dermot O'Leary as she spoke about the bad fall and the bulging vein she noticed on the back of her knee.

She had been walking on the paving slabs at her home when she ended up slipping, with the moment captured on her home CCTV.

She revealed: "It was actually quite a bad fall you know. I can’t get up there because I think I've broken my leg.

"It was absolutely awful. Can you see, Mark has patched me up today.

"So yeah it was a trauma. Not only that then this vein came on the back of my knee. I was like oh my God I've got a DVT (deep vein thrombosis).

"I went to the doctor and the doctor was like ‘you really need to go to hospital.

"So then I'm in hospital for seven hours... They patched me up. Did some tests, it wasn't DVT.

Alison later went on to point out that it was the second time that she had fallen on the tiles.

She said: "It's an over reaction but I have actually changed them, I've dug them up, something with a bit more texture."

Dermot went on to say that he had been worried about her when she came in to prepare for today's show.

He said: "I was looking down and you had this open wound, this gash on your leg."

It comes as the duo bid goodbye to viewers as it is their last show until September.

Dermot said: "Phil and Holly back on Monday for the final week before summer and that's it for us."

Alison exclaimed: "I can't believe it! I've had such a lovely time and thank you to everyone, all the crew, all the staff for making it so easy for us. We'll be back in September. You've been amazing!"

Dermot laughed as he continued telling viewers: "We hope you have a great summer, thanks for joining us everyone. Take care."
