Emmerdale star Mike Parr has revealed he’s suffered a nasty injury and needed stitches in his HEAD

EMMERDALE star Mike Parr has revealed he suffered a nasty injury that left him needing stitches in his head.

The 36-year-old shared a graphic photo on Instagram showing the painful-looking cut, but assured his followers that he's fine.

Actor Mike said: "Snitches get stitches, grasses get slashes... (whatever word rhymes) get staples. Just a flesh wound."

He added: "Good news is Doctors have said I'm not as dyslexicicistic!!!"

Mike's followers rushed to comment, with one writing: "Ouch 😖 have a speedy recovery ✌️."

Another said: "Omg hope you’re okay ❤️."

And a third added: "You’re such a champ! I hope you’re feeling better ❤️."

Last month Mike gave his fans a treat when he showed off his incredible body transformation to celebrate turning 36.

ITV viewers may remember Mike's character Ross Barton for his many relationships in the Dales, where he settled down in 2013, which include an affair with Debbie Dingle as well as an illicit relationship with her mother Charity - which led to the birth of young Moses.

During his time in the village, he was at the centre of many more dramatic storylines, notably involving a violent robbery at Home Farm and a horrific acid attack which left him badly scarred.

The character left Yorkshire in 2018 for a fresh start in Liverpool alongside Rebecca White and her son Sebastian.
