Gloria herself then joined the discussion via the phone to explain more about what happened: "I'm not on FaceTime or anything, I look as if I've done ten rounds with Mike Tyson and lost really badly. Cliff, you've seen a picture of it haven't you?"
Her co-stars assured fans she's on the mend
She continued: "Very simply, I tripped on a rug and then dived on my face on a very hard floor. I've a very red, full eye, absolutely terrible. So there was no way I was going to do a Skype call, I tell you. I've also broken a bone on my face, it's actually just below my eye, the socket that keeps the eye in place, so I've got to maybe get another x-ray of some sorts. But there we go, happy days!"
Cliff then assured his good friend: "You're doing the right thing Glo, because when you have anything extreme happen you should just be calm and collected about it. But you're doing the right thing, just sit back, relax and watch."
