She wrote a long essay in the caption where the TV personality admitted that she feels lucky to be alive.
It read: "WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE? An accident? A global pandemic? A big life change? What’s YOUR wakeup call gonna be?
"This was mine. 2019 I was literally stopped in my tracks - a few months before the world was. I thought I was on the way out, and all from bringing the morning fun at home. In my own home. THAT’S what freaked me out.
"The irony that I’d spent my early career throwing myself out of planes and down skeleton runs and flying fast jets - essentially taking ALL the risks - wasn’t lost on me. Here I was in the “safety” of my own home.
"It wasn’t until I heard all the horror stories in the hospital that I realised how fortunate I was and how I could easily not be here now. SO grateful for this scar and that I get to have a scar!
"Now? I don’t take ANY of this journey for granted because it can CHANGE IN A HEARTBEAT."
Katy's accident occured when she was rushing her daughter to the bathroom and she tumbled after catching her shoe on a stair before “face-planting” the toilet, causing a deep two-inch gash.
The ex stunt-performing Blue Peter host, 49 — the first civilian to fly with the Red Arrows — was then rushed to hospital, where she was given internal and external stitches for the injury.
