Gavin and Stacey star Alison Steadman says she’s ‘lucky’ to be alive after serious fall Gavin and Stacey star Alison Steadman has revealed she feels ‘lucky’ to be alive after suffering a fall in February.
The Abigail’s Party actress, 75, tripped on an uneven section of pavement and remains in a wheelchair two months later.
Alison, who portrayed Pam Shipman in the much-loved BBC sitcom from 2007 to 2010 and reprised the role for the recent Christmas finale, fractured her leg and broke her hand during the frightening incident.
‘I knew when I fell that it was serious. The pain was so bad,’ she told The Daily Star.
‘If I’d banged my head the way I banged my foot, I promise you, I would not be here. ‘Every time I get fed up, I say that to myself. The important thing is that I’m alive.’
