Following the scare, she was taken in for a brain scan by doctors.
Posting an update to her followers on Instagram on Saturday morning, the professional dancer and teacher began: ‘Thank you to all who reached out to see how I’m doing.
‘Scary fall backwards hitting my head on the glass dressing table :(. Trip to hospital to get a brain scan.’
