Emmerdale icon Charlotte Bellamy revealed she was rushed to hospital after suffering a grim injury on set.
The actress, who plays Laurel Thomas on the soap, revealed on today’s instalment of Lorraine that she had a terrifying experience with a ‘blunt knife.’
‘During filming, I was making a Bolognese, as you do, with a very blunt knife and I’m chopping and on the take, I chop the top of my finger off,’ she told the ITV host.
‘At the time, I was pretend pregnant as Laurel so I had to get rushed into A&E with the prop man and with my pretend bump.
‘They were so confused and they were more worried about my baby but obviously, my baby wasn’t real, and nor was my husband.’
Presenter Lorraine joked: ‘And then you have to go, that’s not my husband and the baby isn’t real but I have actually chopped the top of my finger off with a knife while making Bolognese for a show… and they go “ahh ok,” it’s bonkers, isn’t it?’
Charlotte’s character Laurel is set to be battling for survival tonight, and it’s highly likely caused by the stress of knowing of Jai Sharma’s (Chris Bisson) crimes.
Laurel learned the truth about Jai’s torture and extradition of Amit Sharma (Anil Goutam) and put pressure on him to come clean.
She’s apoplectic at his behaviour, particularly the treatment of innocent Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana), who Jai ensured was cut out of the business.
Incandescent with rage, Laurel makes him leave. But that could end up being a grave mistake as once alone, Laurel starts to feel severely unwell. As dizziness overwhelms her, she collapses.
With no idea what’s happening to her body, she’s terrified as she realises she can barely move, is struggling for breath, and cannot reach her phone.
