Brancroft actress Sarah Parish has been rushed into hospital following an accident during a holiday in Turkey.
The TV favourite suffered an awful fall while enjoying an autumn break with her family.
Sarah, 53, shared her traumatic experience with followers on Instagram, writing: “A broken rib?? No, no, that’s not enough for this f*** wit.
“Let’s pop in to the equation a nasty fall on a very hard surface resulting in a fractured spine. Yes, that’s better.
“Spending a couple of extra days in Turkey but not at the lovely @hillsidebeachclub. At the local Turkish hospital. FFS. Life really does appear to be taking a massive dump on my head right now.”

And Catherine Tyldesley added: “Oh bloody hell love! Get well soon! Xxxx.”

Accident-prone?
Poor Sarah appears to be a little accident-prone – in 2018 she broke her leg while snowboarding.
She wrote on social media then: “‘No sleep last night, was on enough Morphine to knock the Navy out but still in pain.
“Note to self: cheap plastic sledges are for sitting in and gently trundling down primary slopes NOT a substitute for a stand up snowboard.”
Sarah is one of the most enduringly popular faces on British TV, having become a household name thanks to Cutting It on BBC One.
