Louise Redknapp shares image of her bloodied face

Louise Redknapp has shared a snap of her bloodied face after she was rushed to hospital on Tuesday morning, from taking a 'nasty' fall in the street on her way to rehearsals for upcoming West End show 9 To 5.

She added a caption on the shot reading: 'It breaks my heart to say I am having to take some time out and won’t be able to continue with my role in 9-5. Due to a nasty fall I have only gone and fractured my wrist and got 10 (yes 10) stitches in my chin... 

'Following my doctors orders- they have said I will be ok but as they say in the theatre ’the show must go on’ and I wish the rest of the fabulous cast an amazing opening night and I will be back on that stage for 9-5 before you know it.'

The mother-of-two, 44, has sustained injuries to her face and wrist, with her doctors instructing her to pull out of the show, her rep confirmed.

Louise's publicist told MailOnline on Thursday night: 'She had a nasty fall on the way to rehearsals on Tuesday. She’s gutted to pull out of the opening weeks of 9 To 5.'

A statement released soon after revealed: 'Due to an injury this week, Louise Redknapp has had to temporarily withdraw from performing the role of Violet in 9 to 5 The Musical...

'The recovery time recommended means Louise is no longer able to properly rehearse the show in the remaining time left before opening... Together we have made the difficult decision to delay Louise’s start date in the show...
