The 48-year-old tripped and fell while rushing down an escalator on Monday.

“I was sober,” Belling told Confidential.

“I thought I’d broken my back and I have cuts all down my leg, it looks like a shark has attacked me. I am very lucky and I am okay.”

“They bandaged me up and I’m on crutches now,” she said.
