Kirstie Allsopp has defended swallowing one of her AirPod earbud headphones on Sunday morning and hit back at fans who doubted her story.
The Location Location Location presenter had a mishap after mistaking the pods with her vitamins that nearly led to a trip to hospital.
She wrote on Twitter: “In other news I just swallowed an AirPod while downing my vitamins, I don’t recommend it. I’ve managed to chuck it back up without having to go to hospital, but my throat is really quite sore.”

Now, Allsopp, 50, has posted a photo of an AirPod sitting amongst a pile of vitamins in an attempt to justify the mix-up after many social media users accused her of lying about the incident.
She wrote: “See, not quite as daft as some might say.”
Hitting back at the haters, she added: “I did something daft, which also served as a warning.
Social media users have accused her of lying about the incident, sending her messages online.
One Twitter user wrote: “So confused. If this is true, why do you have an Airpod in your mouth???”
A second 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.”
A third added: “I have genuinely lost an ear phone and am now wondering if either I or @KirstieMAllsopp swallowed it over the weekend.”

Kirstie further hit back at the trolls, saying: “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.”
The outspoken TV host also outlined how she did it: “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.”
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.”
