Children's entertainer Jeanette Krankie has been taken to hospital with head injuries after falling off a pantomime beanstalk in Glasgow.
The 57-year-old is starring in a production of Jack and the Beanstalk at the city's Pavilion Theatre and fell off the prop during a matinee show.
Wednesday's evening performance has now been cancelled and the audience who saw the fall were given a full refund.
The Scottish star's injuries are not thought to be serious.
Head injury
A spokesman for the theatre said she had suffered a head injury but was conscious as an ambulance took her to Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Scottish soap star Gary Hollywood was said to have been at the top of the beanstalk with Mrs Krankie but he is not thought to have been injured.
Mrs Krankie's husband Ian Krankie was not on stage at the time of the accident but went to hospital with her.
The duo have become famous for their stage and TV double act as The Krankies.
Jeanette plays the part of "cheeky wee schoolboy" Jimmy Krankie alongside her husband's straight man.
They have been starring in the Christmas production since it opened at the theatre at the end of last month and are due to finish their run at the end of January.
