Nikki Sanderson, a Hollyoaks star, was shocked after cutting her chin open after falling off her treadmill. She was then taken to the hospital to treat her serious injuries.
Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson was rushed to hospital after suffering a serious accident during a workout on her treadmill. The 41 year old soap star, who first found fame while on Coronation Street back in 1999, fell off her treadmill at full speed causing serious injuries to her face and body.
Nikki shared the moment “several layers of skin” was ripped from her body on Instagram and at one point, fans saw blood dripping down from her chin.
According to the popular star who is currently dating fellow Hollyoaks actor Anthony Quinlan, she lost her footing on the exercise equipment and smashed her face on the walking pad.
She said, “TW (trigger warning) Epic treadmill fail… this one hurts wait for it… A trip to the hospital with one glued chin and several layers of skin completely removed from my arms and knees,” moving closer to the camera to give fans a no-holds-barred shot. Children, please don’t try this at home. Take a look at…”
She continued, “It was entirely my own stupidity, not the treadmill’s.” #epicfail #treadmill #instagramvsreality #funnyvideos #funnyreel #explore
Her boyfriend Anthony made light of the situation by saying, “Awww… bless you.” I’m so divided about watching this because it’s funny but I don’t want to see you hurt.
What were you thinking, and is the treadmill okay, her co-star Jessica Fox said? Lucy Jo Hudson, the actress, remarked, “Oh s**t nik! I initially began to wet myself, but “Jesus must have hurt x”!”
In the brief video, Nikki jumps up and places both feet on either side of the moving walking pad while casually exercising.
But she completely lost her balance and failed to control herself, striking her face on the walking pad as she attempted to turn to the side and continue walking.
One fan eluded the comment section and wrote, “I feel your pain, I once did the exact same thing running at home with patio doors open at night, couldn’t see anything, and it flipped me into a pancake back of kitchen [laughing emojis] it looked like I had been in a crash xxxx.”
At least you showed us some humor, another fan wrote. When Nikki responded to the post, Nikki said, “Love a good epic fails… even when it’s me]laughing emoji]”.
Her strict exercise regimen, which she recently showed off in a bikini snap, has undoubtedly helped her.
And fans flocked to the platform to post congratulatory remarks, with one user calling her post “unreal” and another.
After playing Maxine Minniver for 12 years, Nikki left Hollyoaks earlier this year. Her main character had compelling stories, including those about miscarriage and domestic violence.
She recently told the Liverpool Echo, “It’s the weirdest feeling because it’s the end of an era,” when describing her departure from the soap. It’s both very exciting and very depressing. How I feel about it is beyond me. It will be a lot different, and I’m starting to get used to it, I suppose. For me right now, this is a different normal.
According to reports, Nikki made the decision to leave the TV show after turning 40, a milestone for the TV star.
She met with her bosses and informed them of her leave date, according to a source who spoke to The Sun. She had just turned 40 and thought it was time to say goodbye to Maxine. She is eager to look into other opportunities and “get back out there.”
Along with her career choice, Nikki’s three- and-a-half year relationship with Anthony seems to be growing stronger.
She recently stated, “I don’t like talking too much about my personal life, but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, Anthony is incredible. Let’s see what the future holds because my relationship is wonderful and happy. Anthony is truly my rock, and he has been incredibly patient with me as I made the difficult choice to leave Hollyoaks.
