Donna, who rose to fame as a teenager on the children’s show Byker Grove, is now happily back on her feet.
But she will still spend Christmas in her restrictive braces.
Donna wrote on Instagram on Friday night, “Well the year has ended with a bang. Just when I thought this Christmas would be no holds barred I managed to break my spine in two places 🤦♀️.
“I think sometimes we get held back and reminded once again to keep it simple, I look forward to seeing so many of you when I get back in my dancing shoes.
“Grateful to my near and dear ones who have made me smile over the past two weeks, especially @freyaaspinalll AKA ‘The elf who saved Christmas.
“A natural COO and the most experienced shopper.”
Donna signed off, “Sending you all lots of love, Merry Christmas everyone and for those facing their own challenges, remember this too shall pass.”
Donna also shared a photo of herself and her two friends after venturing out to the shops.
She wears her neck brace but manages to muster a smile for the snap.
The actress and TV presenter’s followers were quick to send their get well messages, including several familiar faces.
