I saw one of those Celebrity Cash in the Attic programmes recently, I am sure it was a repeat as I think I saw it first time round, they took objects from his home to be auctioned for charity.

Sir Stirling has an amazing home, full of gadgets he designed himself. If he is lying in bed recovering maybe he should design a safer lift.

Hope he recovers well and soon.

My, wasnt he lucky it wasnt worse!

Poor man and comfortable??? I don't think so!!

I hope he recovers, at 80 the shock is enough to kill anyone.

After many years of dicing with death at the wheel of a racing car, Stirling has almost met his match by falling down a lift shaft, apparently in his own home........


Motor racing veteran Sir Stirling Moss is in hospital after breaking both ankles when he fell three floors down a lift shaft.
The 80-year-old is recovering in a London hospital after surgery on both his feet following the accident at his Mayfair home on Saturday, a statement on his website said.

He also suffered four broken bones in his foot and four chipped vertebrae when the lift door opened at the wrong time and he stepped into the empty shaft.
Sir Stirling was taken to the Royal London Hospital in east London after the accident and on Sunday was moved to one closer to his home where he had his operation.
Plates and pins were used to secure the bones in his ankles.
His wife Lady Susie Moss said: "This was a very unfortunate accident, it could have just as easily been another member of the family stepping into where the lift should have been."
It is expected that the former racing star, who won 16 grands prix between 1951 and 1961, will take up to six weeks to recover from his injuries.
