Gavin & Stacey star Alison Steadman, 78, is seen out in a leg cast and wheelchair as she is supported by partner Michael Elwyn after fall in Dubai three months ago


The Gavin & Stacey star, 78, suffered a suspected hairline fracture of her right leg and smashed her right hand in a fall at an event in the Dubai desert.

Despite the injury, Alison insisted her show must go on, and so she was wheeled on stage at the Emirates Airline festival of literature in Dubai to promote her memoir, Out of Character, just days after the accident. The series, which debuted back in 2007 after being created by stars James Corden and Ruth Jones, concluded with on/off lovers Smithy and Nessa finally declaring their love for one another and tying the knot, but not without a few hiccups along the way. Smithy was originally set to wed his girlfriend Sonia, with it revealed he'd never given an answer to Nessa's proposal, which provided the cliffhanger to the show's 2019 Christmas Special.
