EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has shared that she has been left in "agony" after spending 24 hours in A&E.
The 58-year-old actress took to the social media site Instagram to share some details on the ordeal, telling fans she was in "complete agony".
Posting a video on Instagram, Fergison said: "Hi everyone, I’ve just spent the last 24 hours in A&E at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
"I’ve seen things in the last 24 hours [that] I can’t unsee. I’ve been in complete agony. I’ve been made a million times better by the angels that are all of the NHS staff which I wanna thank, like, big time.
"When people say they don’t get paid enough - they really don’t get paid enough. We’ve got a broken system. It’s gone to pot. It’s shot."
The EastEnders actress: "But it’s still amazing and we still have it - just, by a thread. I wanna firstly say a huge thank you.
"I’m a lot better and when you sit for 24 hours in a chair in an A&E department being shipped off every six hours to go and get an IV, antibiotic drips, and come back again."
