Overview
- Roberts was pulled over by her one-year-old puppy in woods off Ashow Road on 2 October, left her phone at home, and lay on the ground for about an hour before another dog walker found her.
- A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson confirmed a 9:42am callout, with one ambulance attending and crews locating her, giving pain relief and carrying her out on a stretcher before taking her to Warwick Hospital.
- She had a successful three-hour hip replacement the following day, spent roughly a week as an inpatient and later reported strong progress at her seven-week fracture clinic follow-up.
- The TV antiques dealer is now publicly encouraging people to carry fully charged phones and to use the free what3words app when heading into rural or wooded areas.
- Roberts thanked paramedics and hospital staff for their care, and credited a passerby and a nearby spa manager named Anton for raising the alarm and contacting her family.
