Hilariously, her slogan T-shirt read: "A little bit dramatic." She captioned the photo: "So. Who has two thumbs and a broken leg? ME, I’m grand. I’m getting the best of care from the extraordinary nurses and drs here."

"#Holding production have been extraordinary in allowing me to recover and I’m excited to return to set. Don’t forget to tune into #exploringNI tomorrow."

Others chimed in: "Sending you healing vibes all the way from India," "Sorry to hear this. Be well soon. X," and: "Oh no. That sounds nasty. Hope you make a full recovery."

Siobhán reassured fans that she was on the road to recovery

Earlier this year, the star shared that the cast and crew were hoping to film a third season of Derry Girls in 2021, but nothing had been confirmed.

Chatting to Radio Times about the 90s-set show, Siobhán said: "The one thing I would say is that we are hoping to do it this year. It’s a scheduling nightmare, as you can imagine.

"Lisa [McGee, the creator] doesn’t want to compromise on quality, obviously, but I think we’re all very impatient to get it done."
