A TV movie about cricket legend Shane Warne was hit for six when two of its stars were hospitalised filming a sex scene.
Alex Williams, who plays the late Aussie spinner, and Marny Kennedy, who stars as his ex-wife Simone, were both rushed to casualty after a bedroom romp went horribly wrong.
The pair were supposed to dive into a room onto a bed together. But they missed it and crashed to the floor instead.

Actress Marny, 29, broke her wrist while Alex, 32, cracked open the back of his head. The accident delayed filming of mini-series Warnie.
Marny said: “We were going down a corridor and we were meant to push into the bedroom and land on the bed.
“But we both completely missed the bed.
“We ended up sitting in the emergency room together he with a bandage around his head and me with my wrist strapped.”
Marny said the pair stood out as they were still in costume in a hospital for the elderly.
“It was just Alex and I with our bleached hair, fully still in wardrobe, sitting there surrounded by elderly residents,” she said.
The pair saw the funny side, snapped a selfie and got personalised mugs made bearing their ER photo for the crew to mark their last day of filming.
The show, which has started in Australia, is expected to come to Britain soon.The duo’s tumble is a fitting tribute to legendary hellraiser Warne who died in March last year (2022) of a suspected heart attack while on holiday in Thailand aged 52.
The cricketer, who took 708 Test match wickets before retiring in 2007 to become a top TV pundit and commentator, described his mantra in his 2018 autobiography as: “Eat. Go. Party.”
In the middle of a vital match for Hampshire in 2006 he sloped off to London for a wild night out.
“Two drinks and two girls later,” as he put it, he arrived back in Southampton, slept in his car, bragged to a physio about his conquests, then donned his whites, took seven wickets and led his team to victory.
After getting caught leaving lewd messages on the answering machine of a Brit nurse while married he agreed to man a switchboard for a photo op and joked: “I’ve always been pretty good on the phone.”
