“Bridgerton” star Ruby Barker suffered a nasty fall earlier this week.

The 27-year-old — who played Marina Thompson on the Netflix series — broke her arm while rock climbing during a class at Last Sun Dance gym in Leeds, England.

She shared a video of the incident on social media, as well as snaps of herself in the hospital getting stitched up.

“You ok? This is what happened

In the video, she appeared to at first effortlessly climb up colorful rocks and hang from the large boulders.

While she was not wearing a safety harness or rope, she continued to reach up to grab each block.

She then struggled to hold herself up until she slipped and fell to the floor.

Barker recently opened up about her mental health while starring on the period drama.

She called out Netflix and “Bridgerton’s” production company Shondaland for failing to help her when she was suffering from “psychotic breaks.”

“Not a single person from Netflix, not a single person from Shondaland since I have had two psychotic breaks from that show have even contacted me or even emailed me to ask if I’m okay or if I would benefit from any sort of aftercare or support,” Barker alleged on LOAF podcast. “Nobody.”

“During filming I was deteriorating,” she continued. “It was a really tormenting place for me to be because my character was very alienated, very ostracized, on her own under these horrible circumstances.”

Barker’s character had to mainly stay in hiding and isolation due to her pregnancy — and the feelings of loneliness transferred into real life during 2020’s Season 1.

“When I went into hospital a week after shooting ‘Bridgerton’ Season One and it was really covered up and kept on the down-low because the show was going to be coming out,” she said. “In the run-up to the show coming out, I was just coming out from hospital.”

“My Instagram following was going up, I had all these engagements to do … My life was changing drastically overnight and yet there was still no support and there still hasn’t been any support all that time. So I was trying really, really hard to act like it was ok and that I could work and that it wasn’t a problem.”
