The woman can then be seen holding her head as colleagues rushed to help her up.

Curtains were quickly closed.

A Butlin’s spokesman said: “Thankfully nobody sustained injuries and the show continued shortly afterwards. It’s an act that visits our resorts and many other large venues around the country. They are due to be on stage again this evening including the performer who was involved in the unfortunate accident.”
