Alice Evans covers her ‘horrible’ black eye with sunglasses after ‘falling down the stairs’

Alice Evans covered her ‘horrible’ black eye with sunglasses as she headed out for a stroll in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The actress, 53, wrapped up in an oversized black kaftan and striped shorts and slippers while carrying her dog during the walk.

Alice, who split from husband Ioan Gruffudd in January 2021, revealed on Instagram she suffered a painful black eye after ‘falling down the stairs in heels,’ explaining she has had to put ‘a stack’ of her Cameo requests on hold due to the incident.

Alice cut a casual figure in a black kaftan wrapped around her as she headed out for a walk in the sunshine, teamed with cropped striped shorts and suede loafers.

The star was accompanied by her dog during the walk, having first shared the injury with her Instagram followers on Monday. 

Standing in the California sunshine in a striped top and red sunglasses, the doting mother explained: ‘Hi guys, quick update [gestures to bruising around her eye].

‘If you requested me on Cameo and it’s expired, please do it again. All I have to say to you is I tried to run up a couple of steps to pick up a dropped mask in heels on Thursday, just after I’d recorded my last Instagram.’

She added: ‘And, you don’t want to see what’s underneath here, but it’s horrible and I have a stack of requests that are piling up that I can’t do because eye-hurty. I’m thinking about three or four days for this, sorry!’

Alice previously announced her decision to join Cameo, sharing an Instagram video captioned: ‘I am on Cameo!! Watch this and PLEASE book me! I am a single mum and sadly need the money.

‘But the good news is that I’m cheap as chips! So do one yourself and pass it on! I love you guys [sic].’

Alice is selling video messages for personal use priced at £30 and messages for businesses at £207.

In the clip, Alice stated: ‘In case you didn’t know, I’m on Cameo now and will do anything you want. No, I will not take my clothes off.

‘No, I will not cut my hair off as there’s nothing left of it anyway. No, I will not engage in sexual acts with other people… that’s for the other site whatever it is. 

‘But I will, any questions you have to ask me, any anniversaries, any birthdays, any anything. I am a little bit clumsy so sometimes I get it wrong but it’s a little bit funny anyway.

‘Eye-hurty’: She added: ‘And, you don’t want to see what’s underneath here, but it’s horrible and I have a stack of requests that are piling up that I can’t do because eye-hurty’

‘That’s about it really. I just want you to know that I am fully, fully engaged in this and I will endeavor to do the best I can for anyone. And if you don’t like it I will do another one for free, ok.

‘Also, my husbands trying to take all the money away – I shouldn’t say that, but I’m going to make sure I make more money than him, haha, love you.’

Alice, who shares daughters Ella, 12, and Elsie, eight, with husband of 13 years Ioan Gruffudd confirmed their split in a series of furious tweets posted in January 2021.

She has since documented every toxic turn in their subsequent divorce proceedings across social media, and repeatedly slated him for being in a relationship with Bianca Wallace.
