A presenter from the popular show Countryfile is expecting her first child. Sammi Kinghorn, a British world champion wheelchair racer, who began her TV career in 2023 with the BBC, shared the exciting news on Instagram. She and her partner, Callum Aitken, were seen in a video wearing caps labeled ‘mum’ and ‘dad’, holding up a scan photo and baby boots. In her post, she expressed her anticipation of meeting their baby in July.
Reflecting on a life-changing incident in 2010 that left her paralyzed from the waist down, Sammi recalled growing up on a farm in Scotland with her family. She recounted a day when she climbed onto a forklift driven by her father, Neil, resulting in a tragic accident that led to her paralysis.
Despite the challenges, Sammi has embraced her wheelchair sports career. She represented Team GB at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, securing a gold medal in the T53 Women’s 100m and silver in the 400m, 800m, and 1,500m events.
