The 43-year-old, who starred in the TV mini-series Molly, in 2016 announced his retirement from acting to focus on fundraising and supporting cancer. He’s best known for his roles on The Secret Life of Us and Rush.

He announced in June that he was returning to TV.

“I wish I didn’t have to tell you this,” his eldest sister Ms Hinton told the page’s 579,000 followers on Monday, “our ambos got him picked up and tucked away safely in hospital in record time.

“The fantastical medical staff are in overdrive taking care of his sore head. He’s awake and not too happy that he doesn’t have his pants – nobody loves a hospital gown.

“Hearing his voice is lovely, but can’t wait for hugs when it’s safe.”

His charity Love Your Sister, launched with his now deceased sister Connie, raised $13 million for cancer research.
