She revealed how her luck had taken another bad turn as she wrote: "In ER cause I got some stupid bit of glass in my foot."

The Westworld actress' confession came after she broke her silence following her split from Ol.
He has since been seen without his wedding band.
In a mysterious post on her social media, Thandiwe uploaded a snap of a white strappy dress by designer Zoe Buckman.
It featured wording embroidered up the side seams in gold thread, before the phrase: "Do we hate our women," was stitched on the centre panel.
Thandiwe added no further words to the post, save to tag the designer so fans could buy the statement garment.

The star dramatically quit her role in the third Magic Mike film and is believed to be struggling amid the separation from Ol, 52, with whom she has three kids.
She flew from London to the US last week and her team is hoping to get her support amid fears she is in “a bad place”.
“Stressed” Thandiwe is also said to have fired her UK agent after three decades.
Last week The Sun told how she had been involved in a row on the set of Magic Mike’s Last Dance with her co-star Channing Tatum.
She was replaced in the unspecified role by 55-year-old Salma Hayek.
Warner Bros later said she had “made the difficult decision to step away from the production to deal with family matters.”
A source told in the US: “Thandiwe had been acting strange on set, she has been very highly strung.”
They added that her behaviour “caused so much disruption, it became clear she couldn’t play the role. There is a lot going on in her personal life.
“She fired her UK agent of three decades, and then her US agent Gaby Morgerman flew in from Los Angeles to try to calm things down.”
Thandiwe wed Ol, best known for directing 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, in 1998.
