The Office actress Kate Flannery has insisted that she’s on the road to recovery after injuring her neck on Christmas Day.
The Meredith Palmer star, who appeared in all nine seasons of the hit US sitcom, revealed that she had suffered an ‘accident on some stairs’ and has been fitted with a neck brace to aid her healing.
Taking to Instagram, Kate, 58, shared a selfie of her sporting the medical gear along with some snaps of Meredith’s infamous pelvis cast and her headbanging in the car with Dwight Schrute (played by Rainn Wilson).
‘This is sooooo Meredith,’ she penned in the caption. ‘ I had an accident on some stairs. My neck injury looks like I put my pelvis cast on wrong.
‘Don’t worry. I’m on the mend. No head banging with Dwight for a while.
‘Merry flippin’ Christmas to all! #iammeredithpalmer #theoffice #meredithpalmer.’
