Former EastEnders star
Paul Nicholls is in hospital with
serious injuries today after plunging
from a waterfall in Thailand and smashing his leg as he fell into a
rock pool - where he remained trapped without food for three days.
The
actor, 38, had been exploring the Khun Si Falls on the island of Koh
Samui when the accident occurred, leaving him in need of complete knee
reconstruction.
He was trapped in the rock pool for an agonising 72 hours and has since confessed: 'I'm lucky to be alive.'
Mr
Nicholls, who shot to fame as Joe Wicks on the BBC soap, had been
exploring the jungle when he plummeted from the top of the waterfall -
where he is thought to have been taking a selfie - leaving him unable
to move.
Footage
has emerged of Mr Nicholls crying out in pain before emergency services
stretcher him to safety - although it took two hours to arrive at
International Koh Samui Hospital, due to his remote location.
