Richard E Grant has revealed he is on the mend after being hit on the head by a metal bar last week. Appearing at the launch of This Morning Live on Thursday, the 60-year-old actor apologised for wearing a cap indoors and explained it was to avoid showing the "mess up at the top". He then further reassured the This Morning team and revealed that the wound was healing OK. "The stitches are coming out today," he explained.
Richard was treated in hospital following the accident on 23 February, and thanked the NHS nurses for helping to "glue me back together again". Taking to Twitter after the incident, the Hollywood star wrote: "Am truly indebted to Nurses Holly & Theresa at Stroud NHS hospital for sorting out my head wounds this evening. Heavy metal bar clonked my cranium and they kindly cleaned me up & glued me together again like Humpty Dumpty!"
