She continued: "Do you what I find shocking, the BBC… hasn't called or at least sent any flowers… They didn't even offer me a chair or whatever afterwards." The TOWIE star revealed that she damaged her back and left side during the fall, adding: "I'm a switched on girl. If [the stage manager] said, 'If you move to the right you're going to fall'… They literally had it too close to where it was coming up."
