Kelly Brook reveals ‘ordeal’ after London Marathon

On Monday (April 28) Kelly appeared on her Heart Drive show where she revealed she suffered a “broken foot” following the marathon.

“I went for a post-marathon scan on my foot today,” the actress said.

She added: “I’ve been following Jenni Falconer who also ran the London Marathon at the weekend. She’s all strapped up in a boot, someone stamped on her foot and cracked a bone.

“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!”

Kelly – who is now wearing a medical boot on her foot – also uploaded a photo to her Instagram Story of the medical boot.

Recalling the stress she endured to initially get a diagnosis, she added: “Oh, he wheeled me out to the road. And then just offloaded me. And I had to hobble across the road to another hospital who then didn’t have an MRI.”

Kelly continued: “Oh, it’s been a whole ordeal! The only thing they did wheel me to is a cashier so I could pay for it!

“So, 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!”
