Loose Women star Brenda Edwards has shared a health update with her fans.
The ITV star was forced to pull out of two Chicago performances over the weekend after she fractured her leg.
Brenda plays Mama Morton in the hit show.
She slipped on a wet pavement while in Blackpool and, as a result, had to visit the hospital.
The star shared a video of herself singing the classic song Lean On Me while at ITV studios.

In a post on Instagram, she shared her disappointment at having to take time off work to recover.
She said: “I’m absolutely gutted that I will not be able to do my two shows today after slipping on a dodgy wet pavement here in Blackpool and fracturing my fibula.
“Trust me when I say I was ready to go on in a wheelchair to do my shows today, as there is nothing wrong with my voice. But obviously for insurance reasons I can’t.”
As a result, her co-stars were quick to respond.
Ruth Langsford replied, saying: “Noooo! Oh Brenda, you poor thing…. Sending you lots of love darling.
Denise Welch added: “Omg are you kidding!! So sorry Brenda. Love you.”
