Countryfile star Sammi Kinghorn has wonderful childhood memories of living on a rural family farm in the Scottish borders. Whilst her mum Elaine wanted to put her in pretty dresses, she was more interested in learning the family trade - donning overalls and following her dad, Neil, around the farm. By ten years old, she was working in the manning shed and even knew how to perform a caesarean on a ewe.
Her dream was to become a zoologist. But, on December 2, 2010, her life changed forever as she suffered a devastating injury, aged 14, that would change her life forever. Now 27, Sammi, who is a Scottish World Champion wheelchair racer, has opened up about the shocking incident as she described the moment she thought she would die.
The family farm had been hit by heavy snowfall and she recalled her dad being "overwhelmed" as animals were dying and people who lived by in rural cottages weren't able to leave to get their shopping.
She was out playing out on the farm with her friend when they spotted Neil in his forklift. Sammi said that her father was "beeping his horn and laughing" as she and her pal jumped around, which is when she decided to climb on to part of the forklift. She says "to this day, I have no idea why I did it" and ponders that she was trying to "show off".
Neil had no idea that she had just climbed onto the machinery, and what happened next would haunt both of them for the rest of their lives, as he lowered the forklift bucket that he had been using to shovel snow - right down on top of her. Sammi explained: "I remember feeling this pressure on my neck. I started to laugh; I thought Dad was joking, that he'd gone a bit too far.
