Comedy icon Paul Chuckle has shared an update with fans after suffering an accident at his home.
The 78-year-old performer uploaded a picture to Instagram showing his arm in a sling following an injury sustained on Thursday evening.
True to the Chuckle Brothers' signature style, he wrote alongside the image: "Oh dear oh dear oh dear! ! ! Tripped UP the wooden stairs ... thankfully not on the ice, keep safe guys."
Fans immediately responded with an outpouring of support and messages wishing him a speedy recovery.
Earlier that same day, speaking to Express.co.uk, he disclosed: "I actually fell and I think I've broken my elbow. I'm going to pop down to the hospital after this and get an X-ray just to see. I was in my house, I was walking up the stairs and I tripped on the step. I put my arms up to stop but hit the back of my elbow on the stairs", reports the Mirror.
He added: "It's quite painful."
Paul, whose real name is Paul Elliott, was recently honoured with an MBE in the New Year Honours list. He is scheduled to attend the Palace later this year to collect the accolade in acknowledgement of his outstanding contributions to Marie Curie, Britain's foremost end-of-life charity.
The entertainment legend became a household name through the much-loved BBC children's show ChuckleVision, which he starred in with his late brother Barry Elliott. The iconic duo entertained viewers on British television for more than 50 years.
The duo also enjoyed tremendous success on the theatrical stage across Britain for numerous years, starring together in 50 pantomimes prior to Barry's death in 2018.
In October 2016, the brothers were named official ambassadors for Marie Curie, consistently supporting fundraising initiatives, providing auction prizes for various occasions, and championing campaigns across social media platforms.
Since Barry's death, Paul has continued his role as an active ambassador for Marie Curie.
Paul described receiving the honour as a "huge surprise" and entirely unanticipated. Indeed, when the letter arrived last November, he initially confused it with hospital mail because of the blue colouring on the envelope.
He told Express.co.uk: "I had no clue whatsoever. I opened it up and it was just a fabulous feeling."
