“I thought I’d broken my back”: Natarsha Belling suffers terrible fall
Ten Eyewitness newsreader Natarsha Belling has suffered a fall that has left her with multiple cuts while grocery shopping in Sydney.
The 48-year-old took to Instagram to share a photo of her wounded left leg on Tuesday.
Speaking to Confidential, she said: “I thought I'd broken my back and I have cuts all down my leg, it looks like a shark has attacked me. I am very lucky and I am OK.”
She also quipped: “I am sober.”
Natarsha explained that she only had been rushing down an escalator on Monday when she tripped and fell down 12 stairs.
“I was rushing around and I had heels on and missed the first step and fell down the whole lot of them,” she said.
When asked by Confidential if she was going to take legal action against the unnamed shopping centre, she said “of course not”.
In her Instagram post, Natarsha captioned her photo: “So, someone once said shopping can be dangerous... here’s proof!'
“Very sore and sorry today after falling 12 steps down an escalator... And I was sober!” she joked.
“Thank you to all the kind people who helped me and to the wonderful doctors and nurses for putting me back together!”
“P.S Please excuse the crutches and hopping as I co-host the Cure Cancer Australia fundraiser tonight!”
