Jane Felstead's Hospital Ordeal
In the video, Jane appears to be filmed by her daughter Binky. Despite her injuries, she maintains a positive attitude, telling the camera: 'I'd like to say to my family. Here I am. I've pulled through again… I'll fight another day.' She jokes about wanting a glass of champagne, noting that the 'ambulance was horrified,' and recounts an anecdote about having a 'do not resuscitate badge.'
Explaining the incident, Jane says she had a 'bit of a run-in with my upstairs neighbour which was very unpleasant.' She continues: 'As I fell, I don't know, all these women arrived, and I knew them all… by the way I was blue lighted all the way, they were very worried about me.'
Fan Reactions and Support
Worried fans quickly took to the comments to share their well-wishes. Loubear_whit_ing wrote: 'Oh goodness, mummy Felstead!! Even after this trauma you're still cracking your lovely jokes and making everyone smile. Sending you love.' Suziewells_said added: 'Awe I do hope your mum is ok. Sending lots of love and a speedy recovery.'
Georginatilly praised her resilience: 'So stoic, brave and funny bless you …go get that champagne.' Sophiacariad echoed: 'Sending you all the love. How you manage to be such a ray of sunshine after all that trauma is beyond amazing.'
Jane's Advocacy for MS Society
Jane, who has 85,000 social media followers, gained fame through regular appearances on the E4 reality series Made in Chelsea between 2011 and 2017. She now advocates for the MS Society, having been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2017. According to the NHS, MS is a condition affecting the brain and spinal cord with no known cure, causing symptoms like extreme tiredness, vision issues, and numbness.
In a 2024 interview with the MS Society, Jane reflected on her diagnosis: 'I can't stress enough how wonderful it was to get a diagnosis, after so many years of having an invisible illness. Friends and acquaintances had never believed me and I had been told everything from I “needed to rest” to “I needed to rest less”! I began to wonder if I was exaggerating my symptoms, but I knew how my own body felt.'
She added: 'So, suddenly this was the moment I had needed all my life. But hearing what the neurologist had to say was scary. She began to explain what MS was, and the possible implications for me. All the years I had waited for answers finally hit me.'
