Despite the injury, Allsopp confirmed that filming for her Channel 4 Christmas show will proceed as planned in October, with production adapted so she can present whilst seated with her leg supported. Her co-host Phil Spencer commended her as brave and stoical, while Allsopp expressed immense gratitude to her rescuers and urged the public to donate to the emergency services that assisted her.
