"I fell over yesterday and banged myself up worse than I thought," he began the post. "This morning I woke up with so much back pain that when I tried to stand I collapsed and passed out.

"I was stuck on the floor when I came round unable to move," he said, adding that Sophie Porley, his real-life girlfriend who played Ellie Nightingale on the soap, called an ambulance for him.

In a second post, he continued: "After a little wait they came and helped me get to my feet with pain killers, gas and air and a helping hand.

"Despite still being banged up I am forever grateful for our NHS and the fantastic work they do. Thank you to those paramedics! Our NHS must be saved for the many."

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Adam.
