Sarah Parish breaks leg while snowboarding

Sarah Parish broke her leg after attempting to snowboard on a cheap plastic sledge.

On Saturday (03.03.18), the \'Broadchurch\' actress took to Instagram to share a picture and a video of herself being rescued by paramedics, along with a follow-up picture in her hospital bed and explained what happened.

She wrote: "Day 2 in Winchester Hospital. Looks like I\'ll be operated on today. They\'re putting a bloody great big pin right through my shin!! No sleep last night, was on enough Morphine to knock the Navy out but still in pain. Note to self: cheap plastic sledges are for sitting in and gently trundling down primary slopes NOT a substitute for a stand up snowboard (sic)."

The 49-year-old actress is being treated at Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester.

Friends and fans immediately took to Instagram to wish her well.

\'Holby City\' star Nicola Stephenson wrote: "God almighty Sparish!! Sending you so much love. When they take you off the morphine we will bring gin xxxxxxx."

\'Harry Potter\' actor Chris Rankin, tweeted: "Ooooh, that looks nasty! Hope you\'re ok Sarah, sending love from Wales xxxx."

And \'Moorside\' actress Faye McKeever wrote: "Ouch ouch ouch! Sending lots of positive vibeeeeesss Pazza xx."
