Holly and Phillip were talking about Alison Hammond’s star-studded birthday party the previous weekend, which Holly attended.

While telling Phillip about the gossip from the party, Holly said, “There was a performance that night where there was a dance troupe there and they did it, which I just found out is called the death drop.”

‘One leg comes up and then hits your ground on the splits. You may have tried to recreate it. I could have slipped.

She explained: ‘I doubled under the weight. My knee is gone. It was a pretty fancy fall, I didn’t show anything.
