The TV personality, 65, took to Instagram to share a health update after she tripped over a tree root outside her home and 'smashed onto the tarmac path' injuring herself.
The Countdown legend explained in a video: 'I've got a bit of a story to tell you about my concussion, which might also explain why I was a bit offline in June.
'So right at the very end of May, I was walking just outside my house on a public footpath, and I tripped over a tree root, which I didn't see.
'And I went smash here on the tarmac path, and I was unconscious.
'I can't remember what happened then, but I do know that an ambulance came, and I was taken to the BRI, Bristol Royal Infirmary.
'By the way, I also know that they were playing the final countdown in the ambulance on the way. It's another story, but it did make me laugh.'

Carol went into further detail, noting how she was: 'Discharged the next day, massive vomiting, all the bad signs.
'Straight back into hospital, they were wonderful. The A&E did all the CT scans and everything. Out again. I had the biggest black eye or bruises all down my face for three or four weeks.
'But what it did leave me with after about two or three weeks was dizziness. So I felt as though I was kind of walking on a moving ship, like sort of knocking into the wall a little bit.'
The I'm A Celebrity star explained that she was left feeling like the room was spinning and thanked the 'Epley technique' and a lady called Sophie who introduced her to it for helping tackle it.
Carol urged: 'I am not a doctor. I am not advising people about this, but I'm just telling you what's happened to me.'
She went on to explain how it is BBPV adding how 'it's all about the inner ear and this little sort of sack of crystals that gets dislodged, and she puts it back together again'.

It comes after Carol revealed she is hoping to go under the knife and have a 'in the next couple of years.'
The presenter has previously hit back at criticism she's faced for having to maintain her ageless appearance, and she doubled down on her plans for more surgery in a new interview.
Hitting back at critics of her tweakments, Carol declared she'll 'spend her money on what she likes' and has 'no issue' with having surgery in the future.
