The former Countdown vowel-slinger explained the unfortunate incident on Twitter after sharing a tweet about a woman who sent an important email with a swear word auto-corrected in.

"I'm pleased your (sic) laughing at my pain #careernosedive" said Twitter user Cakecetera, before Carol offered her sympathies by talking about her catastrophic exercise disaster.

She later tweeted a photo of the incriminating treadmill. "Tripped. Fell. Belt running. Trapped at end as close to wall (stupid). Painful…"
