Comet shared a photo in which she grinned while holding up her leg in a cast, with crutches resting beside her.

She captioned the post: "Just in case you miss me tonight… During filming of my favourite event (the irony) in last week’s episode, I had my injury.

"Three ruptured ligaments, multiple talus fractures, a lisfranc fracture and dislocated bones!

"It goes to show that these things can EVEN happen to mighty Gladiators. I want you all to know that I’m fully recovered and fighting fitter than ever.
