24 Hours in A&E viewers were sickened after seeing a gruesome injury, which they dubbed: “The worst thing ever seen on TV.”
The long-running Channel 4 show returned to screens earlier this week for its 30th season, but left fans squirming with the graphic footage.
A woman named Kirsty was brought into the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham after suffering a compound fracture to her right leg.

Viewers were informed, and could quite clearly see, that there was only a “little bit of skin” and “some ligament” holding Kirsty’s foot in place.
A nurse could be heard saying: “She’s going to need some ketamine,” while long-running staff member Lou Davis said it was possibly one of the “grimmest” injuries she had ever seen in her 32 years of working in the department.

The horror injury prompted viewers to share their shock on social media, while also praising NHS workers for all they do.
One viewer tweeted: “I’ve watched every series of 24 hours in A&E and have never seen anything as graphic as that foot.”
“Genuinely think that broken ankle on 24 hours in A&E was the worst thing I’ve ever seen on TV,” agreed another person.

BBC Look North presenter Cathy Boot chimed in: “Good grief. While getting ready to present the late BBC LookNorth bulletin I’ve put 24 Hours in A&E on in the make up room. There’s a lady with her ankle hanging on by a thread. If I’m green on the telly tonight then that’s why.”
“Omgggg 24 hours in A&E !! Ankle hanging on by a thread… literally,” penned a fourth as someone else wrote: “Well, that poor woman’s foot hanging off in 24 Hours In A&E has made me too scared to even walk up the stairs again,” exclaimed a fourth.

Taking the opportunity to praise the NHS, another added: “Anyone that thinks nurses don’t deserve more money after watching tonight’s 24 hours in A&E need their heads looking at. Most people would have PTSD witnessing something like that on a normal work day!”
Echoing this, someone else said: “Blumming heck that was a baptism by fire to the start off the new series of 24 Hours in A&E – but also a blazing beacon of the incredible staff within our NHS. Pay. Them. Properly. It’s not hard.”
