The Glasgow-based television personality took to Instagram to reveal the damage done to her car, affectionately named Adam, that was parked outside of her home.

The front of the two-door vehicle was forced into a tree after being struck from behind, causing considerable damage to its front and rear ends.

Sharing a video of the written off vehicle, she wrote: “We weren't in the car. But what was more irresponsible was the driver.

“(The driver) sent my beautiful little Adam to the car park in the sky.”

The Gogglebox star said the driver was “attempting to break the sound barrier”.

“(He) got out, faked a heart attack, and when he was getting oxygen got a taxi home,” she added.
