Natalie Cassidy reveals shocking sternum fracture from *EastEnders* birth scene
Natalie Cassidy has revealed a serious injury she suffered while filming EastEnders. The actress, known for playing Sonia Fowler, fractured her sternum during a childbirth scene for the soap’s 40th anniversary. Doctors later compared the severity of her injury to that of a car crash.
The incident happened as Cassidy filmed Sonia giving birth to daughter Julia. The pain was so intense that she sought medical help before her final scenes aired. A doctor confirmed the fracture, leaving her worried about long-term effects.
The sternum fracture has led Cassidy to monitor her bone density more closely. Her departure from EastEnders marked the end of a long chapter, but her health now takes priority. The actress continues to follow medical advice as she recovers from the injury.
