One half of comedy duo the Krankies was rushed to hospital yesterday after falling from a beanstalk.
Janette Tough - better known as Wee Jimmy Krankie - plunged 20 feet from a giant beanstalk during Wednesday's matinee performance of Jack and the Beanstalk at Glasgow's Pavilion Theatre. Fellow cast member Gary Hollywood was also injured.
"She was at the top of the beanstalk at the end of act one," explained theatre manager Iain Gordon. "The beanstalk goes in the air about five metres, and as they were coming down the beanstalk bent."
Krankie, 57, was rushed immediately to hospital. A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service confirmed: "Wee Jimmy Krankie fell out of the beanstalk on to the stage and was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary."
Her current condition is unknown.
