KELLY Brook has revealed she was wheeled to hospital with a painful injury after finishing the London Marathon.
The radio star, 45, ran the famous 26.2 mile route alongside her husband Jeremy Parisi, 39, and proudly showed off her medal after crossing the finish line.
But the event took its toll and, today, Kelly spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong with her sore foot.
Speaking on her Heart Drive show, she said: “I went for a post-marathon scan on my foot today.
“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 showed off her moonboot, placing it on the Heart desk and accessorising it with a pair of sunglasses.
She had to dig deep to even get a diagnosis, hobbling between hospitals until she found one with the right equipment to assess her.
She continued: “Oh, he wheeled me out to the road and then just off loaded me and I had to hobble across the road to another hospital who then didn’t have an MRI.

“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!”
The couple’s preparation for the gruelling run wasn’t ideal due to their burglar alarm going off the night before.
Prior to that, Kelly revealed she was reliant on Vaseline after bleeding on a practice run.
She told us: “I have gone through pots of Vaseline and on Sunday I was away. I was tapering and had a quick 10k to do.
“I panicked because I left my Vaseline at home so I went without. Nothing prepares you for the chaffing! I was bleeding after 10k.”
Having done an increasing number of physically exerting challenges with Jeremy, the London Marathon felt like the ideal next step for the couple.
She said: “We were both pretty strong anyway but this has definitely made us more dynamic.
“After a 25km run you feel invincible. We love to train hard and keep that up all year.
“When we did Race Across the World we had to climb a volcano in the snow for the final Episode.
“We had spent Christmas in the Alps hiking mountains in the snow so we were weirdly prepared mentally to tackle that!
“We train a lot just to prepare ourselves for life in general you never know in our job what you’re going to be asked to do next. “
“This has been brilliant because we are in control of our training and performance. With TV it’s never entirely down to you what the outcome will be.
