In the meantime, the couple is taking a break from their Facebook show.

Suzanne and Alan, who have been married since 1977, live in Palm Springs, California. 

Somers is already recovering from a fractured hip from last year.  

The TV star began: ‘Thank you so much for all of your concern while Alan and I took a break from our normal schedule.’ 

She added: ‘As most of you know, I have been struggling for the better part of the year with a fractured hip, and then Alan and I took an unfortunate fall while coming down the stairs at our home. 

‘I had an intense amount of pain after the fall that was not resolving – even after having tequila!’

After several scans, ‘it was determined I had 2 vertebrae out of place which was causing pressure on nerves and creating that tremendous pain.’
