Kirstie Allsopp took to social media to apologise to her fellow travellers for her 'lunatic' behaviour as she battled to get to work.
The Channel 4 star was running late while Storm Ciaran battered the UK as she attempted to journey across Britain. But when the wind and rain grew stronger, things turned frantic as the horrible conditions worsened as she headed from London to the northwest.
She seemed to lose control after trying to get on a train and told her 433,00 Twitter followers that she was sorry if she took anyone out as she tried to make her connection. The Love It or List star eventually made it but not without a bit of drama along the way.

She eventually made it to Chester - and said sorry for her ‘lunatic’ behaviour (kirstiemallsopp/Instagram)“Apologies to anyone I just mowed down going through Paddington," she posted. “I was the lunatic in a Mac with wet hair shouting 'sorry! sorry!' & desperately pleading with the ticket gate operator when my ticket wouldn’t scan. I love my job, and I’m very lucky to have it, but the travel is crazy.”
She was met with much sympathy and one joked: “Just buy a helicopter... problems solved." Another told the 52-year-old after her long day on the commute: “Hope you're all sorted now, Kirstie. Now... big breath, ahhhhhhh!”

She was off to Chester to film a new episode of the Channel 4 property show and she was clearly pleased she made it to Cheshire. Later posting a video on Instagram, she told her followers: “Afternoon petals, this is the river Dee, which is looking exceptionally pretty today, right through the middle of Chester. Really sunny, with no sign of Storm Ciaran here and really pretty architecture.”
She went on: “Now, I’m off to Stockport this afternoon, having done a Love or List it here in Chester. And then tomorrow with our favourite person, Phil Spencer, in Chippenham, where I think Storm Ciaran may be a little more of a concern anyway, have a lovely afternoon!"
Back in September, she had to pull out of filming Location, Location, Location after she got into a terrifying accident in a pub in London. The presenter fell down a flight of stairs and told her fans that she was "battered and bruised" because of the accident. She was taken to the hospital in an ambulance after the fall. "Today is Wednesday, and it's a working day," the Channel 4 explained to fans.
She continued: "I should be out filming Location Location Location. Except yesterday, when we were in a pub in Stoke Newington, filming a chat with our lovely house hunters Beth and Rory, I went off to the loo. Unfortunately, I got something wrong and I ended up falling down an entire flight of stairs.
"It was, I think without a doubt, the scariest thing and most painful thing I have ever done in my life and I feel immensely blessed to be lying here in bed and not having broken anything. I'm bruised and battered. I went and had an x-ray and a CT scan. And I've been looked over by a lovely doctor."
