Krankie hurt in beanstalk tumble

Children's entertainer Wee Jimmy Krankie has been taken to hospital with head injuries after falling 20ft off a pantomime beanstalk in Glasgow.
The 57-year-old is starring in a production of Jack and the Beanstalk at the city's Pavilion Theatre and fell off the prop during a matinee show.

Fellow cast member Scottish soap star Gary Hollywood was also said to have been injured in the fall on Wednesday.

The duo's conditions were described as stable by the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

Show stopper

The Wednesday evening performance at the theatre has now been cancelled and the audience who saw the fall during the day have been given a full refund.

A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said: "Wee Jimmy Krankie fell out of the beanstalk on to the stage and was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary."

Wee Jimmy, a cheeky Scottish schoolboy, is played by actress Janette Tough, who stars alongside her husband Ian Tough in their double act The Krankies.

Mr Tough was not on stage at the time of the accident but went to hospital with his wife.

The couple are now semi-retired but throughout the 1980s were a fixture on national television making their name on the Crackerjack children's TV programme.

They hosted their own show, The Krankies Club, on ITV before finally disappearing from the screens in 1991.

They have been starring in the Christmas production in Glasgow since it opened at the end of last month and are due to finish their run at the end of January.
