Here’s everything you need to know…

The Larkins stars Morgana Robinson as Pinkie: How did she get injured?
Talking on Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Morgana Robinson recalled a time when she seriously injured herself in Italy back in 2017.
Morgana was with her then-boyfriend, who was DJing at a wedding in Italy.
The next day, Morgana swam around a cove to a grotto, which involved climbing a cliff face.
She managed to climb it, but the rocks started to get extremely hot, so she sprinted across the rocks barefoot.
The actress suddenly slipped and fell 20 feet down the side of the cliffs, landing on her face.
Ouch!
Morgana described the injury as if she “cheese grated her entire body”.
Luckily, she has since recovered.
She told Alan Davies on the show: “You can see the scar, but I’ve healed very well.”
How old is she?
Morgana was born on May 07 1982.
This means that the star is currently 40 years old.
