Peg sprains leg getting an egg

[Mr Humphries]

BARBARA Windsor broke her wrist and sprained an ankle while getting her breakfast from a BBC catering van.

The EastEnder, who plays Peggy Mitchell, tumbled during filming of Pauline Fowler’s funeral.

She came a cropper on slippery steps leading up to the egg-and-bacon canteen. But the former Carry On star, 69, bravely battled the pain to finish her scenes before going for an x-ray.

A source said: “Babs has had a bit of a fright. She’s wearing a splint for the next two weeks.

“A surgeon will then decide if it has to go in plaster. Babs is in a lot of pain. She was only going for her breakfast.”

The accident happened during shooting at Hendon, North London.

Babs has also broken an ankle. She fell down stairs at home after being diagnosed with Epstein-Barr Virus — a form of ME.

A Beeb spokesman said: “Barbara is not filming and we wish her a speedy recovery.”

even her jaw would have done me, If she had fallen forward she would have bounced back up again

Of course I'm only joking sorry I don't hate her that much but I will need to watch EE after Pauline's funeral for a few episodes, at least we know she won't be in them.

i want to know how you can break and sprain your ankle at the same time unless shes done on on her left and one on her right.
