"And unfortunately I got something wrong and I ended up falling down an entire flight of stairs.
"It was, I think probably without a doubt, the scariest thing and most painful thing I have ever done in my life and I feel immensely blessed to be lying here in bed and not having broken anything.
"I'm bruised and battered and I went and had an x-ray and a CT scan," she added, before thanking the medical staff that had treated her.
Kirstie then went on to apologise to the team that had been due to film with her at the time of the accident, before adding that her co-host Phil was preparing to "step into the breach".
"On Friday, he's going to show Beth and Rory the properties we had lined up and hopefully if I'm feeling up to it they're going to Facetime me and I'm going to comment on the properties and give them the benefit of my advice from bed.
"So I'm either flat on my back or walking around," she explained. "Sitting or going in the car is out of the question at the moment, so sadly the spa weekend I was taking my sister on is no longer happening. She's going by herself."
Kirstie went on to admit that she now found her fall "quite comic" despite colleagues initially getting a "terrible fright".
