The 39-year-old was knifed in the chest on a 999 emergency call-out.

Pictures taken show a bleeding Deena Evans, who starred in a TV show Inside The Ambulance, being treated by upset colleagues in Wolverhampton on July 6.

She was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham after suffering a chest wound and nerve damage.

Deena started her first shift back last Friday and West Midlands Ambulance Service shared a picture of her smiling and standing next to an ambulance. They wrote: “We spy a familiar face.

“Today was her first day back on the road since the incident, she had crew mate Charlie looking after her.”

Deena said: “My recovery is going well. I’m still receiving physio and counselling but it’s helping.

“I still have numbness in my arm but it so far hasn’t affected my job.

“My first day I was really nervous, I felt sick and felt like I couldn’t breathe but all the staff helped me, and my crew mate always makes me laugh so it was a good shift.
