Louise Minchin: BBC host brands herself an 'idiot' after failing to seek medical attention

With stunning scenery and breathtaking views, she remembered feeling on top of the world as she finished, until the decent left her in agony.

“I loved every minute, right up until the moment when we had finished and started to walk and, I tripped on the pavement, and felt something in my foot rip as my ankle crumpled under me,” she wrote.

“It was agony, and I felt sick with pain as I hobbled back to the car.”

Louise admitted she “knew it was bad” but was “determined” it wouldn’t stop all her hard work for the main event.
