Celebrities and pblic figures are just like us sometimes, clumsy.

When we trip and fall, no one pays us mind. But when they do trip and fall they make headlines.

One lucky celebrity who was spared that fate is Julie Gichuru. The former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo saved the media personality's life and social media credibility.

Julie Gichuru revealed this during an interview with Janet Mbugua on her weekly vlog.

"So Citizen, we’ve just had this tough interview with Kabogo in 2013. And I was seated the whole time with my legs crossed and I had not realized that I had pins and needles. So when I stood up at the end of the interview I literally fell."

Julie continued, "And Kabogo had the presence of mind to literally check if the cameras were on and grabbed me before I hit the ground big time."

Laughing Julie said that Kabogo's swift move literally saved her from being a viral meme and subject of a much talked about video if the incident had been broadcast.

"It would have been another story and thank you Kabogo for catching me," she said.

We have compiled a list of celebrities who have tripped, fallen down and gotten hurt badly.

Dr Alfred Mutua

The bridge at River Gucha collapsed a while back as Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua and Kisii DG Joash Maangi stood on it.

Some reports indicated that it caved in as they took selfies while others said the Governor had bent to check the depth when the incident took place.

They were with several people who accompanied them to a inspection of road projects in Ogembo town.

Mutua and Maangi were pulled out and rushed to Ogembo Hospital in Kisii County in an ambulance.

The Governor dismissed the report about selfies.

"I have been baptised by River Gucha and now I must build a house in Gucha," he said, as reported by Radio Citizen.

When called by the Star, he said he was safe and that he was having lunch at Maangi's home.

"The bridge caved in after a crowd of those who accompanied us joined us," he said.
