Storm Brendan is currently blowing a gale across the country and lashing the UK with rain.
And one person who got caught in the storm was BBC Radio 2 breakfast presenter and Strictly: It Takes Two’s Zoe Ball.
Zoe, 49, issued a warning to followers on social media.
Be careful on the roads tweeps. Just encountered a fallen tree across the road in Westmeston near Ditchling, Sussex. Lots of branches across the road too. Go easy #stormbrendan

The star, who lives near Ditchling, issued the warning at 8.55pm on Monday night (13.1.20) and followers soon responded.
One follower said: “Blooming awful road in the dark, never mind in the rain, and must be even harder with the wind too.
“Glad you are all in one piece! Happened to me once. Fell in front of me. Makes you count your blessings…
