Emmerdale and Coronation Street favourite Denise Black rushed to hospital suffering serious injuries

Emmerdale star Denise Black has told fans of how she was rushed to hospital.

The well-known TV fave, 65, who played Joanie in Emmerdale between 2013 and 2017, suffered a serious fall and needed hospital treatment. It transpired she suffered a broken arm and foot in the upsetting incident.

Denise, who also played Ken Barlow’s lover Denise Osbourne in Coronation Street, praised the NHS for their essential support. As reported by our colleagues at The Mirror, Denise said: “Now I’m mending, I can tell you. I broke my wonky arm. As I fell I dropped what I was carrying which broke my foot. Know Hoffnung’s Bricklayers joke? Google it. I am that joke.”

She added: “Humongous shout out to doctors and nurses far and wide, very especially our beloved NHS. You make humans seem like good people. Great news is I’m still filming. Even better news is I’m mending.

“Sure, I may be wonkier than before, but in truth, aren’t all the best people? Inside and out #embraceyourwonkiness #thankyounhs.”
