A BBC presenter has been hospitalised for a collapsed lung after jumping into a lake during a family holiday. Chemmy Alcot shared a video on Instagram on Thursday (13 August) of herself diving off a five-metre platform into Lake Annecy in the French Alps. “Most people badly time a front flip off a five-metre platform and get winded,” she said. “I apparently don't do things by halves. Collapsed lung, chest drain and a very expensive lesson in rotation.” The alpine race skier also shared images of herself in a hospital bed with wires sticking out of her body. “I absolutely LOVED Annecy… but I’m not entirely sure it loved me back,” she wrote in the post’s caption.
