Aisling Bea has opened up about her horrifying accident that left her arm 'hanging off'.

During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show this week the comedian, 40, revealed she got 'knocked down off her bike in the pandemic' which left her needing surgery to have her shoulder 'totally reconstructed'.

She said: 'I was supposed to have keyhole surgery on my shoulder from an accident two days beforehand but when I went in, they found out my arm was hanging off.

'They had to go in and totally reconstruct my shoulder while I was asleep. I got knocked down off my bike in the pandemic.'

Aisling was due to start filming the second series of fellow comedian Romesh Ranganathan comedy-series Avoidance but the script had to be adapted to include her sling. 

She admitted she was 'out of her head on painkillers' while on set and due to the sling was not able to 'move very much'.
