Actor Richard E Grant treated in hospital after being hit on head by metal bar

Actor Richard E Grant has been treated in hospital after he was hit on the head by a metal bar.

The Hollywood star praised two nurses at Stroud General who "cleaned me up" and "glued me together again like Humpty Dumpty!"

The Withnail and I actor wrote on Twitter: "Am truly indebted to nurses Holly and Theresa at Stroud NHS hospital for sorting out my head wound this evening.

"Heavy metal bar clonked my cranium and they kindly cleaned me up and glued me together again like Humpty Dumpty!"

And the 60-year-old celebrity later posted a snap of himself in a Peaky Blinders-style cap.

"Thank you for all the kind messages of support. Wearing a cover-up cap till I'm Peaky Blinder better!," he joked.

Fans and NHS staff wished him well.

"It's lovely to hear someone with such a high profile thanking staff. Speedy recovery to you.
