Kirsty Gallacher calls out ‘parasite’ fly-tippers who dumped waste on country road near her home

Kirsty Gallacher has slammed “parasite” fly-tippers who dumped illegal waste near her home.

In an Instagram post on Sunday (10 May), the TV presenter can be seen walking down a country lane with rubbish strewn across it as she points out how “disgusting” it is.

“We get a lot of fly-tipping, but I've never seen anything like this,” she told the camera. “It's some parasite who has been working on a roofing job and decided to just chuck all this slate, all this insulation foam, which is, by the way, going everywhere 'cause it's windy.”

Gallacher said that the fly-tipped waste has been there for five days. “Absolute disgrace,” she said.

Bracknell Forest Council told The Independent that the waste has now been removed. “As soon as the incident was reported to the council, the road was closed whilst clearance was arranged,” it said.
