“WARNING: Just stabbed my thumb. Using a steak knife instead of scissors to cut string around a bunch of flowers,” she explained.
Adding that the knife ‘went in about a centimetre’, Fern then detailed that the inside of her thumb ‘looks like steak’.
“Sorry, are you having supper?” she quipped, before clarifying that she “held up okay”.

“Could have been worse, glad you’re okay!” one person wrote. “Keep it clean and change plaster regularly to stop any infections,” advised a second.

“Antiseptic too, keep it clean, wish you well Fern!” said a third.
Others believed Fern should go to her local A&E to get checked over.
“Be careful as deep wounds at the base of the thumb have a habit of reopening as it’s quite a mobile area,” one person warned. “Might be an idea to get it seen by a nurse at your surgery or local A&E, as 1cm can be quite deep for an area that size.”
“As long as you keep it clean and dry and it seems to be healing well and you feel okay in yourself…” a second added. “If you feel it needs seeing to later in the week then pop along then!”
Fern meanwhile added she will “let fans know” if she needs to be checked over.
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
