EastEnders star Vicki Michelle has shared that she has broken her shoulder after suffering "a nasty fall" over the weekend.

Michelle, who played Rocky Cotton's estranged wife Jo on the soap last year, posted a photo of herself in a hospital cubicle on Instagram, where she explained that she'd had an accident.

Alongside a picture of herself wearing a sling around her neck and wrist, she wrote, "So Sorry Everyone No Vix Mix Sunday", referring to her weekly radio show on Phoenix FM.

She continued, "I've had a nasty fall and broken my shoulder. Ouch! Bloody painful. Me at hospital. Hopefully be with you next week. Missing you already x".

The actor's followers were quick to wish her well, including former Emmerdale star Linda Lusardi, who commented, "Oh god. Wishing you well. Look after yourself darling x x".

Michelle later shared an update, posting a photo of herself smiling alongside the caption, "Thank you All you Fabulous people for caring. Really touched by your kind words. Sending Lots of Love to you all xxx".

Michelle joined the EastEnders cast as "brash, quick-witted, and extremely glamorous" Jo early last year, with her arrival in Walford posing a major threat to Rocky's relationship with Kathy Beale.

After dropping the bombshell that Rocky couldn't marry Kathy because he was still married to her, Jo continued to try to blackmail the couple.

Michelle has also starred in Emmerdale as Patricia Foster, the mother of Jonny Foster, while she is also known for her role as Yvette Carte-Blanche in classic sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
