Michelle Collins, known for her role as Cindy Beale in EastEnders, recently experienced a painful fall that required her to use crutches and seek medical attention. The 63-year-old actress injured her knee after an incident where she attempted to stop her pet pooch, Peggy, from running out of a door. This led to her being rushed to A&E in Norfolk.
Following the accident, Collins was seen using crutches to get around. She shared her experience on social media, thanking the staff at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Norfolk for their excellent service, despite its lower ranking on a hospital league table. She humorously noted that she would be filming her upcoming EastEnders scenes while sitting down.
During her trip to Norfolk, Collins also paid a touching tribute to her late rescue dog, Humphrey, who passed away the previous month after 16 years. She scattered his ashes on a beach in Norfolk, a place he apparently loved. Collins described Humphrey as her steadfast companion and expressed the deep joy and significant loss his passing has brought to her and her husband.
