• Dyer said scans showed a hairline fracture with ligament damage, including a grade 2 sprain on one side and grade 1 on the other, and doctors warned continuing would worsen the injury.
• She recounted a welfare call confirming she could not compete, described feeling ‘pure devastation,’ and said she sought an emergency session with her therapist as she struggled to cope.
• Danny Dyer called the fall a “freak” accident on their podcast, offered blunt encouragement, and joked there had been private talk of him stepping in as her substitute.
