Former EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins has revealed he was rushed to hospital with a head wound after his BAFTA award from his time on the show fell from a cupboard at his home and bashed him on the head.
Dominic told on his Instagram stories how he was left unconscious and his head was pouring with blood after being hit by the 3.7g gong.
He shared a selfie snap of him with a large bandage across his forehead – but it appears the award, which was left with a chip on its nose, suffered the more serious injury.
Dominic shared close-up snaps showing the damage to the award and joked: “Think Bafta came off worse… Drama.”

Describing the incident he said: “So.. this, note the newly chipped nose.. Fell off the top of a cupboard and onto my head.
“3.kg of bronze. A lot of blood and then I passed out. Ambulance to A&E.”
The Bafta’s plaque was given to Dominic in May 2016 when EastEnders won the Soap and Continuing Drama award under his helm.

Dominic also shared a snap of himself in hospital with a medical mask around his mouth and nose.
Dominic began his career on EastEnders as a senior story editor in 2005.
He created iconic characters Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell and conjured up some of the soap’s most iconic storylines, such as Syed and Christian’s affair, and Who Killed Archie Mitchell?

Dominic stepped down from the soap in 2010, but returned three years later as executive producer – replacing Lorraine Newman.
He introduced the Carter family and cast Danny Dyer as Mick, landlord of the Queen Vic.
In 2016 he stepped down again and collected the Bafta only days after he left.
