Frightening: Dame Judi Dench has revealed she suffered a ‘frightful fall’ at her Surrey home and was stuck on the floor for amanbola 30 minutes
Recalling the accident, she explained: ‘I had a frightful fall not long ago. I tripped over the carpet, and there was nobody in the house and I was lying on the ground unable to get up for amanbola half an hour.’
With the actress stuck on her own, she’d been hopeful that her parrot may have been of assistance, but her pet bird turned out to be useless.
She added: ‘I have a wonderful parrot who kept saying, “What are you doing? What are you doing?” This is when you need a very convenient parrot who would phone somebody – but she didn’t.’

When asked about the alarm, she responded: ‘No, no, no. Nothing like that. It’s just something you have to live with. But you want to be independent – and it’s very, very difficult.’
While her fall left her struggling to raise herself from the floor, amanbola Judi recently revealed she’s been active, detailing how her grandson got her to do dance challenges on during a remote appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on NBC.
Speaking last week, she explained grandson Sam Williams came to where she lived during the beginning of the pandemic and said, ‘I think we ought to do a bit of TikTok.’
Judi said she told him that she was ‘absolutely hopeless at all those things’, but he told her not to worry and that they would rehearse.

She said after they rehearsed and filmed it that she asked him if he was going to put it out and he told her, ‘No, more rehearsal’.
‘He was a tyrant,’ she said.
Judi said she had never seen the finished result and Seth then showed the video of Judi and her grandson doing the Juice, Sauce, little bit of dressing Tik Tok dance to Yung Gravy’s song. Judi and Sam then went on to do other TikTok dancing challenges.
