Rachael Ray suffered ‘a couple of bad falls’ after recent video sparked health concerns

Rachael Ray is sharing a health update after fans expressed concerns about the cook’s well-being. 

Ray, 56, admitted she was injured as she opened up to fans about activities she enjoys doing in her free time. 

“I am a homemaker. I love chores, I love being in the kitchen. I always work with my brain every day, I’m always writing something,” Ray said on the debut of her podcast, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.”

“But I really like chores. I like what people consider physical work. I like making dinner, planning dinners, making lists.”

The television personality added that she loves “physical labor,” such as “carrying in the wood,” but she suffered from “a couple of bad falls” in the last couple of weeks.

Ray’s comments come after fans previously expressed their concerns about her health on social media.
