Broadchurch actress Sarah Parish hospitalised after 'snowboarding' on cheap plastic sledge
Actress Sarah Parish has seriously injured her leg attempting to "snowboard" using a cheap plastic sledge.
The Broadchurch and Bancroft star is facing major surgery after playing in the snow went badly wrong.
She posted a picture on Instagram of her leg in a cast and another picture and a video of herself being tended to by paramedics while lying in the snow.
Parish 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."
She had earlier posted a video of a girl sliding down a snowy slope on a flimsy blue plastic sled, however the child was sitting rather than standing on it.
Among the well-wishers was Amanda Holden, who commented: "Darling I just cannot believe this."
The Britain's Got Talent star added: "Gin on its way."
Ms Paris, who is also known for roles in W1A, Doctor Who and Mistresses, was recently revealed to be returning for a second series of ITV drama Bancroft, in which she plays respected yet ruthless police officer DCI Elizabeth Bancroft.
