Former Dancing On Ice star Donna Air has issued a health update after fracturing her spine late last year.
Last December, the actress told her Instagram followers about her injury as she sported a brace around her neck.
At the time, she said: “Well the year has ended with a bang. Just when I thought this Christmas would be without restrictions – I have managed to fracture my spine in two places. I guess sometimes we are stopped in our tracks and reminded yet again to keep it simple, looking forward to seeing so many of you when I am back in my dancing shoes.”

She then added: “Grateful to my nearest and dearest who have kept me smiling these past two weeks especially @freyaaspinalll AKA The elf who saved Christmas. A natural COO and the most expert of shoppers.”
Now, Donna – who appeared on Dancing On Ice in 2018 – has issued an update on her health.
Speaking to the MailOnline at the premiere of Never Forget Tibet: The Dalai Lama’s Untold Story, Donna said: “I feel very blessed and very lucky to have made a full recovery. It was very debilitating, but I did a lot of reading and a lot of walking.
