Gyles Brandreth has revealed he received excellent care from paramedics and the NHS after taking a tumble and breaking his arm.

The Celebrity Gogglebox star, 74, had shared a photo of him with two paramedics in the back of an ambulance on Friday after his left arm had been put in a sling.

He told his followers: ‘Tomorrow you’ll get the whole story. It’s 1.45 am & all you need to know for now is that these 2 brilliant professionals, Emma & Lynne, took me from Anstruther to Kirkcaldy in their ambulance tonight & are both a credit to Fife NHS & 2 of the best & kindest people I’ve ever met.’

On Saturday he shared another snap of him with a doctor after being bandaged up, with his broken arm tucked inside his shirt.

He explained that the accident had taken place during a visit to Scotland, praising the wonderful people who had taken care of him.

Gyles wrote: ‘And here’s the hero of the hour: the mighty Mark Johnston, @nhsfife’s finest, who looked after me last night when I broke my humerus- not so funny.

‘The care & kindness of the paramedics & team at the Victoria Hospital Kirkcaldy has been beyond praise. Thank you so much!’

While Gyles is the one in plaster, he previously revealed he contributed to his wife breaking her wrist when he fell on her.

In December 2020, Gyles revealed he and Michele, who he has been married to for 47 years, had been on a walk together when he stumbled onto her, causing her to fall to the ground.

Gyles revealed at the time: ‘Looking in the air I tripped on a tree root & toppled onto my wife who hit the pavement! Aaargh!

‘She’s on the mend happily & I’m doing all the cooking. Result.’
