Kate Lawler has London Marathon disaster as running partner forgets to bring trainers

Kate Lawler's London Marathon experience didn't get off to the best of starts when her running partner forgot to bring her trainers.

The mum-of-one, 42, took to Instagram this morning asking her followers if anyone could help her pal out.

Sharing a pic of herself, open-mouthed, Kate said: "Guys, my running partner can't find her running trainers. NO JOKE. Does anyone have any worn trainers size 8 they can lend her? We need to get them to Blackheath."

She then added: "My running partner left her trainers at Hampstead Heath pond when she went for a swim. I can't believe it.

"So, she's currently running the marathon in a pair of high heels. If anyone can help please let me know."

The Big Brother winner then called for any spectators who may have a pair of trainers Kate could "stop off and grab - because right now it's high heels or barefoot."

The star's post then cut to a clip of her friend, who was sitting in the back of a taxi - looking a little red-faced.

Kate announced: "Here she is, the lady with no trainers. Do you want to show everybody the trainers you're currently running in?"

As her pal lifted up her foot to reveal a pair of sparkly white kicks, the DJ said: "These are the trainers which are fash-hun and not for running. We're hoping someone can help."

The blonde beauty admitted she'd been mocked for sending the post, with some saying her task was impossible, but Kate was defiant, saying: "You never know with the power of social media".

And it looks she was right.

The presenter's next pic showed a pair of worn running trainers with the message: "Yea sure, these are my other halve's.

"He has a few worn pairs so you have many options. What colour socks? What time will you be arriving on the Heath? We will be spectating today do happy to help xx."

Overcome with relief, Kate wrote: "Are you kidding me? I love social media."

The presenter is running the marathon today on behalf of the RSPCA.

She told her Twitter followers their donations would help "so many animals in need".

Kate is married to her long-term partner Martin Bojtos after the pair said 'I do' this summer in London.

The couple, who share daughter Noa, 19 months, went to Italy for their honeymoon, where they sampled all the luxurious Lake Como had to offer.
