'Absolutely Fabulous' actress Jane Horrocks was rushed to hospital after a painful fall from her bike
The 59-year-old actress, who played Bubble in 'Absolutely Fabulous', was left injured after she slipped on black ice during a bike ride in Brighton, and she has since taken to social media to reassure her fans that she is ok, while warning them of the dangers this time of year.
She wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Just fallen off my bike on black ice in Brighton. In A+E now. It's crazy busy.
"I haven't experienced A+E for a very long time and it's an eye opener. Be careful cyclists out there."
In a later post, Jane explained what the incident had taught her.
She added: "Maybe these accidents occur to say Slow Down. We do so little of that, that sometimes it takes something stronger to enforce rest. I'm grateful for the guidance."
Jane then praised a pair of strangers who assisted her after the nasty fall, as well as the "lovely" hospital staff.
She continued: 'A lovely couple helped me when I fell. They got me a cup of tea and brought me home.
"Thank you to them and the lovely Scottish nurse who put my arm in plaster when all the other 'plasterers' had gone home."
Meanwhile, the 'Bloods' star previously voiced her annoyance at TV bosses choosing to "churn out" the same actors for leading roles.
According to Deadline, when Jane was asked how she felt about Olivia Coleman, Lily James and Keeley Hawes, she admitted that she was irritated other performers are not given the chance to show off their talent on screens.
She said: "I think it’s a bit limiting for the audience to see the same crowd always coming on. I just feel sorry for the audience really that the commissioners and the producers are so short-sighted that they have to keep churning out the same people."
