EastEnders' Nancy Carter has been left injured following an off-screen accident tonight (February 28), after actress Maddy Hill was recently spotted with an injury of her own.
Earlier this month, Maddy was seen arriving to the set of the BBC soap on crutches, with her foot in a rehabilitation boot. Now, EastEnders has revealed how it has written Maddie's real-life injury into the soap, with Nancy sharing that she suffered a nasty fall and broke her ankle while at work in the gym.
On Monday night's episode (February 28), Nancy could be seen resting her bandaged foot on a stool at the Queen Vic as Shirley (Linda Henry) walked over to ask her if it hurt.

"That will teach you a lesson, wouldn't it?" Shirley added. "Stay away from the treadmill."
"I weren't on a treadmill, I tripped over in the office," Nancy said.
"Well then maybe you should steer clear of the gym altogether," Shirley replied. "Your choice. But I've been saying it for years: exercise... it's bad for your health."

Meanwhile, the Carters have got some dark times ahead of them in EastEnders when they finally discover that Tina Carter's body has been found in the Argee Bhajee.
As the grieving Carters struggle to process the news, suspicion soon falls on killer Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) as Shirley tells DCI Arthurs that Tina had been taking money from her that Gray had claimed to have seen her on the bus after she went missing.
With Gray's downfall fast approaching, could this discovery be instrumental in exposing Gray's crimes to the Square?
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
