Katie Lee Biegel: “It’s A Good Reminder For You Guys To Watch”
GettyBiegel took to Instagram stories to explain her injury on March 18, showing her finger wrapped in a paper towel and ice.
“In all my years of cooking, I have never cut myself,” she said.
“I sliced through my fingernail, like, cut my fingernail off, basically, while filming a new episode of ‘It’s Not Complicated.'”
“So lovely. But it’s a good reminder for you to watch,” she joked.
Biegel later posted a selfie with her bandaged nail to her stories. She captioned the photo, “One day, I’ll have a fingernail again…”
She was back in high spirits in a March 19 story as she updated fans on her injury.
“I will live. I will survive,” she joked.
“But I’m definitely going to take the sympathy between now and when it gets better.”
Biegel’s injury was not mentioned on the latest episode of “It’s Not Complicated,” which aired on March 17. Ironically, she did recount a story of an accident that occured on the set of “The Early Show.”
“Harry Smith was the anchor, he loved to cook, and he was using the mandolin,” she reminisced, while using the slicing implement herself onscreen.
“[He] sliced the top of his finger off during our segment.”
Biegel recalled that Smith was “such a pro.”
“He just exited, and Erica Hill stepped right in, and we kept making the salad.”
