A HAMPSHIRE actress became a victim of the Beast from the East after she broke her leg in a sledging accident.

Sarah Parish, who lives in Alresford, will spend another night in the Royal Hampshire Hospital in Winchester following the incident. 

Taking to Instagram, the 49-year-old, who stars TV shows Broadchurch and Mistresses, said doctors were set to put a "pin right through her shin".

"No sleep last night, was on enough Morphine to knock the Navy out but still in pain," she added.

"Note to self: cheap plastic sledges are for sitting in and gently trundling down primary slopes NOT a substitute for a stand up snowboard."
