The Three’s Company star fractured her hip when she and Alan both took a tumble down their stairs, leaving her with an ‘intense amount of pain’ and requiring an operation.

She told the publication: ‘The good news about my having to be on my back [is that] two more books popped into my head. They’re both vibrating as best sellers, I don’t know which to do next.’
