00:00Hi guys
00:02Paris update
00:05Is that I'm actually back in London?
00:10I'm sorry about the filter I put on this but honestly without it
00:15I just looked appalling even the dog wouldn't look at me
00:21I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago with my friend Ben
00:26and
00:28we somehow walked out of it
00:32well we didn't walk out of it
00:34we crawled out of it
00:37but we did get out of it alive
00:40to be very clear it was not our fault
00:44we were driving on a country road in the middle of France
00:49and a car didn't stop at an intersection and was going at speed
00:55and we just T-boned it
00:59I'm fine
01:00I've got a sprained neck and I'm really in shock and sort of cry all the time
01:05but I'm going to heal
01:09the reason that I'm not dead honestly is the car that we were driving
01:13we were in this little tiny Kia EV2
01:20I've never been in a crash before but
01:23the kind of 360 degree airbags are what saved our lives
01:29the fact that the entire car didn't just concertina and crush us
01:34is down to the design of that car which is frankly astonishing
01:41so
01:43well this is categorically not
