‘Huge risk!’ Lucy Alexander endures ‘tense’ home disaster as she sends important message

Homes Under The Hammer presenter Lucy Alexander, 51, has told fans she had to undergo a “tense” speed awareness course as “punishment” for speeding in a 30mph zone. She detailed the experience to her 54,000 Instagram followers, saying: “I’m just about to start a speed awareness course at home, look I’ve got all my props to put my phone on and my driver’s license.”

Lucy got herself set up in her dining room with a tower of biscuit tins to hold her phone up.

The presenter exclaimed: “Two hours, it’s two hours!

“I was going 40 in a 30, so yeah, this is my punishment. God!

“Anyway, I’ll see you on the other side, wish me luck. I hope this doesn’t fall down and the dog doesn’t bark!”

However, things went from bad to worse and Lucy ended up having to complete the course in the freezing cold.

Appearing in a big coat and woolly scarf, Lucy explained she “hates technology” because she had “sh**e WiFi”.

After completing the course, she sighed: “And breathe. The reason I’ve got my coat on is because I couldn’t get any signal in the house.

“For some reason the WiFi dropped out, so I had to go and sit in the garage where there is 4G in a certain corner.

Lucy also took to Twitter to bemoan the experience.

The BBC host fumed: “Speed awareness course completed, at home.

“No WiFi, bad signal so sat in my garage using my 4G for two and a half hours.

“Hmmm. Was tense.” (sic)

Plenty of her followers got in touch to sympathise with the presenter.

Carlos said: “This is the truth. Always problems with technology.”

Whereas Bobby quipped: “Speed awareness, naughty Lucy.”

And Jim added: “Could have been worse, if it was in Scotland you would have got points and a fine and your insurance would rake you too.”
