His followers saw the tweet and quickly responded to check he’s okay.

A second said: “Not good when that happens. Hope you’re okay and it heals soon. NHS staff are amazing and they should be proud of themselves.”

Unfortunately Daniel isn’t the only Corrie star who has ended up in hospital recently.
Last month Kel Allen, who plays Rick’s ex-wife Laura Neelan, thanked NHS staff after revealing she broke her big toe in four places.

“I had 12 weeks where I didn’t see anyone at all because I live alone. I don’t stop talking and the conversations with myself became incredibly in-depth.”
He continued: “I actually spoke to my stomach one day when it grumbled. I was like ‘alright, I’ll feed you in a minute!'”
However, the actor is now back filming on the cobbles and has been keeping his followers updated with his social media posts.
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm on ITV.
