"I can’t believe I’m not dead. I’m very lucky. It’s just beginning to dawn on me this nearly had a different outcome entirely," thesun.co.uk quoted Cipriani as saying. Cipriani says Brook is thankful that things did not get worse. "Kelly was worried, but she’s just glad it wasn’t worse," he said. IANS
