Revealing her leg was still in a cast, she elaborated on how she broke the bone: "I was on tour and we went out for a lovely Chinese meal and I slipped, fell and broke my fibula."

Despite the injury, Edwards also said she was determined to get back on the stage and reprise her role as Mama Morton in the acclaimed musical: "Even if they have got to wheel me on, I'm going to try my best. We're talking about it and we'll see."

Edwards had stepped in to replace Gemma Collins in the musical. Edwards played the character in the West End musical in 2007, and confirmed her return in May by tweeting: “Mama’s back.”

The 53-year-old performer's son Jamal died suddenly in February, the cause of which was later ruled to be arrhythmia — an abnormality of the heart's rhythm — from taking recreational drugs.

Jamal Edwards founded SB.TV and also directed music videos for Ed Sheeran and was an ambassador for the Prince's Trust.

After his death, Prince Charles released a statement saying: "Thinking of the family of Jamal Edwards today. His work in music but also as an ambassador for a new generation, including his work for The Prince's Trust, were an inspiration to so many."

Brenda Edwards recently opened up to Lorraine Kelly about coping with her son's death. She said: "It just made me really proud to hear that and how many young people Jamal helped. It keeps me going."

She also formed the charity, Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust, which will be used to combat homelessness, support people with mental health issues and provide young people with "essential life skills".
