The Good Morning Britain presenter, 57, shared a video to Instagram showing branches scattered around her garden, as well as the work she has done to repair the fence.
She wrote: “Had a heck of a day trying to sort out storm damage – I know it’s nothing compared to what many are facing so not complaining.
“Lost a tree height pyracantha (shrub)which had glorious orange berries in autumn and dainty white flowers in spring.
“Still needs more chainsaw action but am hoping life will spring back at the roots.
“Very proud of my fence mend though (on the left) using old fencing from elsewhere.
“Something satisfying about being out in the fresh air though ( even if it was grey and raining) and now ready for a hot bath and bed. Hope everyone has had a great Sunday.”
