Ski Sunday presenter Chemmy Alcott says she suffers a collapsed lung after jumping into a lake while on holiday in France. Multiple outlets report she was taken to hospital and shared images from her treatment.
The reports describe the incident as happening during a jump into Lake Annecy, with at least one outlet stating it involved a front flip. Other coverage focuses less on the exact manoeuvre and more on Alcott’s account that she ended up with breathing difficulties and required medical care. Across the articles, the common elements are that Alcott is a former GB Olympian and BBC presenter, that she posted updates from hospital, and that the injury is a collapsed lung.
While the overall circumstances are consistent, the tone and detail vary between outlets—some emphasize the specific attempt and perceived mis-timing, while others summarise the outcome and her hospital stay without specifying the gymnastics element.
