Earlier this year, the Corrie star thanked the NHS as a result of the help he received after accidentally cutting his hand during the lockdown.
Afterward on Twitter, the actor praised the “utterly amazing” staff who saw to his injury.

Daniel wrote: “Had a small accident in the kitchen today involving a knife and my hand. #NHS staff utterly amazing, these guys deserve so much more than they get! Thank you for gluing me together.”
He wasn’t the only Coronation Street favourite to injure themselves over the summer as another also ended up in hospital.
Kel Allen, who plays Rick Neelan’s ex-wife Laura, similarly praised hospital workers after breaking her big toe in four places.
