‘Just writing to let you know that following a fall at her home, she’s unfortunately suffered a couple of minor bone fractures and related injuries.
‘Thankfully Col, her husband, was there and she is now in the excellent hands of her doctors who are confident she will make a full recovery. It may just take a little while.
‘More than anything else, Maggie hates letting people down. But she has multiple events and public engagements coming up that she may have to miss.’
They continued: ‘She has asked us to apologise on her behalf to all those affected – and has asked for your patience as she recuperates.
‘Thank you for your understanding – The Beer Family.’
No time frame has been given on Maggie’s recovery as family members explain it will be based on day-to-day advice given by her doctors.
