Charlene said: ‘Whether we liked it or not, Sunetra gave us a call of doom when she walked in this morning…’

The actress revealed that she’s managed to sprain both of her ankles during her latest appearance on the programme

‘I had a dead leg, I was trying to put my foot in a slipper. It’s nothing showbiz. It’s not glamourous.

‘I was just old. I couldn’t get my foot in my slipper.

‘Then I’ve been poor me, poor me, everyone who sees me, “Oh you poor thing with this bandage on your leg”.

‘On my way to physio for said sprained ankle, six weeks after injury, I’m thinking I’m nearly going to walk again properly.

‘On the way, my flip flop gets caught under the door matt…

‘Flip flop gets caught, I trip, my left legs comes out to save my face from hitting the ground…

‘And guess what? Sprained left ankle!’

The TV star then pulled out her crutches from underneath her.

Sunetra said: ‘Flip flop gets caught, I trip, my left legs comes out to save my face from hitting the ground… And guess what? Sprained left ankle!’

She continued: ‘So now doctor Zoe Hanna from Casualty is sitting in casualty being recognised by everyone…’

She played Zoe Hanna in the BBC show  on/off from 2007 until 2024.

Elsewhere in the episode Dragons’ Den star Emma Grede and Hugo Vickers appeared on the show to chat to the panel.

It comes after Rosemary Shrager recalled the moment she was bitten by an adder after she fell into a bush during a 450-mile bike ride.

The TV chef featured on Monday’s instalment of Loose Women and joined panellists Ruth Langsford, Linda Robson, Oti Mabuse and Katie Piper.

She recently completed a whopping bike ride called Two Wheels For Meals and rode for 18 days all the way from Land’s End to Dover to raise funds to donate to food poverty charities.

To prepare for the big ride, Rosemary trained and worked on her fitness, but she ‘kept falling off her bike’.

Things took a turn when she fell onto an unsuspecting snake while cycling in Cornwall.

‘I fell onto an adder and it did bite me… on my leg,’ Rosemary recalled.

‘The problem was I didn’t dare tell anyone, this was in Cornwall I fell into a hedge and my leg went into the grass and I literally fell on the adder.’

She added: ‘It just obviously didn’t like me, it bit me.’

However, the TV chef revealed she didn’t tell anyone as she wanted to continue the journey.

‘But I didn’t want to tell anyone because I had to get from that destination to that destination everyday it was sometimes 55 miles, sometimes 48, it was a lot,’ Rosemary said.

Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV1 from 12:30pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
