Homes Under The Hammer star Lucy Alexander, 49, who presented alongside host Martin Roberts, 56, until 2016, has detailed a fearful moment while she has been homebound in the coronavirus lockdown. The TV presenter revealed she nearly “cried like a baby”.
Lucy, who is a mother-of-two to her children Kitty and Leo, took to Instagram on Thursday to share her scary experience after going for a “lovely sunset walk”.
Writing to her 43,000 Instagram followers, Lucy explained: “So after my lovely sunset walk & this pic was taken tonight, a huge spider wedged itself in my hair.
“And as I was serving fajitas an hour later for the kids it fell out just missing the salsa I’d prepared!!!!
“Omfg I screamed … and nearly cried like a baby. #spiders #suppertime #growupalready #morewineplease.” (Sic)
