Updating fans about the nature of her hospital visit, Nadiya said she was scared at first, but was discharged after a few tests.
She said: "I’m smiling in the picture but it was really scary and there were a few tears as I had to lie still for hours but I was given the all-clear after an x-ray and allowed to go home."
On whether the fall will affect her ability to compete in the upcoming season of the BBC dance contest, Nadiya said she expects to be back on the dance floor in no time.
