EastEnders star James Bye split his head open onstage while performing in the beloved pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The BBC soap star, who has played the role of loveable rogue Martin Fowler since 2014, completed the show despite suffering a major injury in the very first scene. His co-star Rhiannon Chesterman took to her Instagram Story to share the news of the actor’s injury online.
She wrote: “Look at our brave Prince @jimmybye! Split his head open in the first scene, carried on and decided to ‘make a thing of it’ so strapped up his arm for good measure. #Trooper.”

It comes after James and his doting wife Victoria welcomed their fourth child earlier this year. Announcing the arrival of their little tot, the new mum took to Instagram where she confessed she suffered a “drama-filled” labour.
She wrote: “After a long induction, a long labour, lots of ups & downs & all the drama along the way (oh don’t worry, I’ll be filling you in on everything…) our hearts are near to bursting with the arrival of our precious baby boy.
“I just can’t believe I have him, here, in my arms, safely home and ours to keep for always. It still hasn’t sunk in… I’m definitely still in shock and I still can’t believe he’s mine.”

“You kept us waiting for such a long time little one, but oh wow were you worth the wait. We’re absolutely over the moon, smitten kitten and just head over heels for you.
