Kelly Brook in hospital 'ordeal' over painful injury after London Marathon
London Marathon runner Kelly Brook has announced that she's been at hospital over an injury following the long-distance race that she took part in with her husband Jeremy Parisi
Radio host Kelly Brook has announced that she ended up in hospital after running the London Marathon on the weekend. Alongside her husband Jeremy Parisi, she was among the celebrities who took part in the annual event.
Kelly, 45, was one of the runners in the long-distance race on Sunday, with her having completed it in just over six and half hours. The Loose Women panellist - who had kept fans updated on her training - said in a post on Instagram after the marathon in London that she was "sore but happy". The Heart Radio presenter has since announced that she's been diagnosed with a stress fracture on her foot. The NHS describes those fractures as "tiny cracks in the bone caused by overuse".
Kelly - who previously shared that she hadn't ever ran more than 5k until last month - said they are "quite common" for people running a marathon for the first time.
Kelly, who is now wearing a medical boot on her foot, spoke about having broken her foot on her Heart Drive show this afternoon. She shared on the radio station that she could be wearing the recovery boot for up to six weeks now.
She said: "I went for a post-marathon scan on my foot today. I've been following Jenni Falconer who also ran the London Marathon." Kelly added: "She's all strapped up in a boot, someone stamped on her foot and cracked a bone."
Kelly continued: "My foot looked a bit like hers' so I sent her a picture and she said 'go get an X-ray!' Well, I've walked to three hospitals to be told I've got a broken foot. I was like I could have told you that at hospital number one!"
She added: "I cannot believe the ordeal! What time is it now? Four-thirty. I set off at nine o'clock this morning, I'm not joking!" The former Celebrity Race Across the World contestant suggested in the discussion that she visited several hospitals, including one that didn't have an MRI to assess her apparent injury.
Kelly is quoted as having said: "[Someone] wheeled me out to the road and then just off loaded me and I had to hobble across the road to another hospital who then didn't have an MRI. Oh, it's been a whole ordeal! The only thing they did wheel me to is a cashier so I could pay for it!"
She also said: "It seems that I've got a stress fracture which is quite common with first time marathon runners because we don't know what we're doing. So, I'm in a boot and it looks like I'll be in a boot for six weeks. But I've got a medal!"
Kelly has showcased her medal in a selfie with her husband Jeremy, 39, who also received one after completing the marathon, on social media recently. She's also shared photos of the boot that she's now wearing following the injury.
Speaking about the injury, Kelly also teased on the radio show that she "heard a crack" at one point. She said: "I heard a crack, and I thought I don't know if that is a blister popping or if that is a bone, let's not think about it, let's just keep going!"
Listen to Heart Drive with JK and Kelly Brook weekdays from 16:00 - 19:00 across the UK and on Global Player.

Snoop Dogg's dog dies
Snoop Dogg's dog dies His beloved pet has passed away Snoop Dogg (Image: Getty Images ) Snoop Dogg's dog has died. The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker was given French bulldog Juelz as a 43rd birthday gift from Wiz Khalifa in 2014 but now his beloved pet has passed away. Snoop shared a video of Juelz in the front seat of his car, soundtracked by Weldon Irvine's 'Morning Sunrise' and wrote on Instagram: ""Rip @juelzbroadus [crying emoji]Thank wiz for giving him to me.(sic)" The 53-year-old rapper then shared a second video, which featured a montage of Juelz with Snoop and his family and friends over the years, with Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's 'See You Again' playing over the top. He wrote: "Miss my dogg @juelzbroadus (sic)" Juelz had his own Instagram account, which had thousands of followers and documented his adventures with his famous owner over the years. Meanwhile, Snoop - who has another French bulldog, Frank - recently admitted he is keen to open a food stall at Celtic Park, the Scottish home of his favourite soccer side Celtic. Article continues below He told Scotland's Sunday Mail newspaper: "There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good but that ain't got to be the case. "People know that Snoop is a cook and I would love to bring a pop up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. "It's got to be Celtic Park man, I mean where else am I going to bring it. "The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple cured bacon. "The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself." But Snoop has no interest in offering his food to Celtic's great rivals rangers. Article continues below He said: "Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!" Snoop revealed back in 2012 that he wanted to buy shares in Celtic after watching the Parkhead side beat Barcelona in the Champions League in November that year. At the time he said: "I got a lot of interest in soccer. It's not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams...I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell...I want to bring a bit of Snoop to things."
