Kirstie Allsopp has come under widespread ridicule on social media for claiming she accidentally swallowed an AirPod after mistaking it for a vitamin.

Oh dear! Kirstie Allsopp (pictured in November 2019) has come under ridicule on social media for claiming she accidentally swallowed an AirPod after mistaking it for a vitamin
She tweeted: 'In other news I just swallowed an AirPod while downing my vitamins, I don't recommend it.
'I've managed to chuck it back up without having to go to hospital, but my throat is really quite sore.'
Kirstie explained that she had put her vitamins in her pocket while getting a glass of water and accidentally swallowed the AirPod with the rest of her vitamins.
She added: 'AirPods in pocket, put vitamins in pocket while getting glass of water, chucked vitamins into mouth, gulped water, go for second lot, see one AirPod in hand, check pocket, check handbag. Realise there’s only one place it could be.'

Proof: Kirstie later took to Twitter to share a snap of what she claimed was the very AirPod she swallowed with her vitamins in a bid to show unconvinced people that she was telling the truth
The star kept updating her fans on the incident as she claimed it was 'agony' and said she initially wasn't sure if the AirPod still worked.
She wrote: 'Never again! Getting it, back up was agony and I've burst some little blood vessels around my eyes.'
'Don't know yet, but it still smells of sick and I'm not sure about putting it in my ear. Way too much information I know,' she added in another tweet.
But on Tuesday morning, Kirstie claimed that her AirPod was still working despite her swallowing it, penning: 'Morning All, Guess what? They still work!'

However, her story was met by ridicule from other social media users, with some exchanging jokes about the incident while others argued that it didn't happen.
Kirstie was quick to hit back at unconvinced users as she claimed that it would be a 'bizarre' thing to make up.
After one user said 'this just didn't happen', she angrily responded: 'Funny how the accusations of lying seem to be coming from the gaming contingent, and I'm the one living in a fantasy world?!'
'Can't really get my head around the 'you're lying' crowd. It would be such a bizarre lie,' she added in another tweet.

And in a third tweet, she said: 'I love that anyone thinks I have enough imagination to lie about this.'
Hitting back at her tale, one person wrote: 'It might have shut you up for a while', to which Kirstie quickly hit back by saying 'zero chance of that mate'.
Referencing her presenting gig, another quipped: 'Good job it came back up or the AE team would be looking for its Location, Location, Location!'
A third said: 'Jesus, at least look at what you're swallowing, you're not a performing seal', to which Kirstie responded: 'Oh, I don't know?'.
Other users referenced her comments from earlier this year when she sparked a heated debated after suggesting young people could afford to buy a house if they quit Netflix, gym memberships and coffee.
