It was bad enough that Alex needed stitches afterwards.
She said: "I had to go straight off to the paramedic for stitches.
"He said, ‘I’m just going to put in the anaesthetic’ and I was like ‘No, there’s no time for that, I have a showstopper to make, just do it!’"
Meanwhile, singer James Blunt and This Morning's Alison Hammond came away unscathed.
