A Place in the Sun’s Scarlette Douglas injures herself AGAIN after ‘falling off crutches’ in huge cast
A PLACE in the Sun’s Scarlette Douglas has injured herself AGAIN after ‘falling off crutches’ in a huge cast.
Earlier this week, the 36-year-old presenter explained to her fans she had picked up a “super painful” tear in her leg.
Scarlette shared footage of her having an MRI scan – which uses very powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body – and revealed she had picked up an injury during football training.
But taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the star admitted she had caused herself a subsequent injury.
Against a black background, she wrote: “I just fell off my crutches and hurt my leg again…
“Today is going swimmingly well” alongside an upside down smiling face emoji.
The I’m A Celeb star then shared a snap of her surgical boot alongside a tub of massage cream and rolls of bandages.
She added: “Let the recovery commence.”
Speaking about how she injured her leg in the first place, Scarlette said: “I felt my calf ping, like an elastic band.”
After the MRI scan, Scarlette told fans: “Thank you everyone for your prayers, well wishes and good energy; I don’t need an operation!
“Luckily, what was initially speculated to be a partial Achilles tear is actually a grade 2b soleus tear. (Grade 3 being the worst.)
“The Soleus is the lower part of the calf muscle that attaches the main calf muscle to the Achilles.
“It’s super painful but with a lot of good physio, rest and the right exercises, I’ll be back in time for Soccer Aid!
“Remember, this is a minor setback for a major comeback, and trust me when I say no matter what, I will be fit enough to play at least do 5/10 minutes on that Old Trafford Pitch.
“Nothing will stop me!! Thanks again to all of you that reached out and have been thinking of me [love heart emoji].”
