Kirstie Allsopp has revealed she somehow managed to swallow an AirPod over the weekend.
The Location, Location, Location star said she made the mistake while taking her daily vitamins.
But she managed to avoid an emergency dash to the hospital by throwing up the AirPod earphone, which comes with the latest iPhones.
Taking to Twitter last night to share her mishap, the 50-year-old said: “In other news I just swallowed an AirPod while downing my vitamins.”
She added: “I don’t recommend it. I managed to chuck it back up without having to go to hospital, but my throat is really quite sore.”

But fans were baffled as to how Kirstie had accidentally eaten the earphone, especially as they are quite large.
One Twitter user wrote: “So confused. If this is true, why do you have an Airpod in your mouth???”
“How is that even possible?” said a second.
A third commented: “Damn, how big are the tablets you’re taking that you confused them with an AirPod? Can’t even imagine putting on in my mouth considering the size of them, let alone swallowing it. Glad you managed to get it out though.”
“I have genuinely lost an ear phone and am now wondering if either I or @KirstieMAllsopp swallowed it over the weekend,” a fan joked.
One curious follower asked: “Does it still work?” to which Kirstie replied: “Don’t know yet, but it still smells of sick and I’m not sure about putting it in my ear. Way too much information I know.”
After many social media users accused her of lying about the incident, Kirstie posted a photo of an AirPod amongst her pills.
She captioned it: “See, not quite as daft as some might say.”
Going on to explain how it happened, Kirstie said: ‘”AirPods in pocket, put vitamins in pocket while getting glass of water, chucked vitamins into mouth, gulped water, go for second lot, see one AirPod in hand, check pocket, check handbag.
“Realise there’s only one place it could be.”
Hitting back at the haters, she added: “I did something daft, which also served as a warning.
“Yesterday I got some lovely humorous replies. Today Twitter has gone insane with really horrible comments. It’s quite staggering how unpleasant people can be while telling you they have compassionate political leanings.”
She added: “Can’t really get my head around the “you’re lying” crowd. It would be such a bizarre lie....I love that anyone thinks I have enough imagination to lie about this.”
