As first reported in The Sun, Debbie, was involved in a collision near her home in Cornwall on Thursday (6 October) morning, which resulted in her being rushed to hospital.

Amanda previously feared for her sister’s safety last year, when Debbie became trapped while climbing Mount Everest, following an earthquake in Nepal.

Speaking on ‘This Morning’ at the time, an emotional Amanda admitted she was “barely [able to] speak”, revealing: “My mum and dad are watching and listening to you [the rescue experts] for information.

“Very luckily, [Debbie] is at a place that is the last camp before you get to base camp on the south side, and there was only four of them left at that camp because my sister was suffering so badly from altitude sickness.
