Michael Parr, who plays Ross Barton in Emmerdale, has opened up about the injury that left him fearing for his acting career.
Emmerdale enthusiasts are in for a nail-biting ride this week as they witness April Windsor precariously hung over the edge of a multi-storey car park, following her abduction by the merciless boxing promoter Jade.
A subsequent scare with suspected Legionnaire's disease added to his turmoil. Speaking to The Mirror, the 38 year old actor recalls, "If you can't move you can't act." "My immediate thought was that I was going to be like that for the rest of my life." Unable to walk for a week, he added: "The panic really set in that I'd done myself some permanent damage."

His fitness has been an asset in his current bare-knuckle fighting storyline, which then sees him wrongly accused by Jade of stealing £10k, before being warned his family could be in danger if he can't find the money. But when April Windsor is kidnapped, the real drama starts, as he mounts a heroic rescue bid.
