You’d think Ross Kemp had spent enough time in hospital recently after the birth of his twin daughters, but he’s been back there again after breaking his toe.
The former EastEnders actor posted pictures of his injury to Twitter and thanked the NHS for looking after him.
In his first post, he wrote: “Up with the crows to train today. Lesson learned…make sure you are the right distance when doing a flying kick!”
Ouch, looks painful!
Fans were quick to respond – with many not impressed by the state of his toes!
“Put them away please chief, Ross Kemp on Toes,” said one.
Another added: “Ross, your toes are rancid. Bit of TLC needed there big man.”
“Next time the mrs goes for a pedi, tag along,” replied a third.
A few people even claimed the injured toe in question looked like Ross’s on-screen brother, Phil Mitchell!
“Ouch!! Looks a bit like Steve McFadden when he gets angry,” said one.
“Your big toe looks like Phil,” said another.
A third agreed: “Big toe looks like Phil Mitchell lol.”
Ross later posted another image from the hospital of him with staff, thanking them for the treatment they’d given him.
“At the hospital with my broken toe today. Thanks for everyone there and to everyone working in the NHS. You are brilliant,” he wrote.

Ross recently became a father again after his wife gave birth to twin girls.
He’s shared some gorgeous snaps of the new arrivals, including one showing him taking his newborns home from the hospital.
The documentary maker couldn’t look happier as he proudly posed with Ava and Kitty while holding a baby carrier in each hand.
Aww!
Ross, 53, added the simple caption: “Homeward bound. Very big thanks to all at John Radcliffe.”
Others praised the couple for posting an actual picture of their children, rather than the oh-so-celebrity thing of focusing on a hand or a foot.
One wrote: “Supaproud daddy and why not! Now the hard work begins tough guy lol! Best of luck to you all and congratulations to you all again x.”
Another said: “So good to actually see the babies instead of just a toe or the like, Ross…… Big congratulations to you and your wife.. Great picture..X.”
And a fourth added: “Best wishes Ross. Another incredible adventure ahead of you with those two. The very best of health and happiness to you all!!”
The smitten TV star has shared a handful of snaps since announcing the twins’ births on September 28.
Grinning from ear to ear, the former actor – who played Grant Mitchell in EastEnders – wrote: “BIG THANKS to Lawrence Impey and his team.
“Very happy Dad again!”
He is also a proud dad to two other children – one son from his previous relationship with Nicola Coleman and another little boy with wife Renee.
They chose not to publicly announce their first pregnancy and instead surprised fans in April 2015 by revealing Renee had safely delivered a baby boy.
Ross shared the news via social media, posting a photo of him cradling his new bundle of joy.
His caption read: “What a day! Mum and baby doing well, Dad very proud! 6lbs 7oz, born at 10:54am. Happy boy, asleep already!”
Renee is Ross’ second wife; he was previously married to ex News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks, before divorcing in 2009.
After leaving EastEnders, Ross made a name for himself as a hard-hitting documentary maker.
His series, Extreme World, sees him travel to several places around the globe to investigate extreme criminal activity and the often dark and seedy underworld.
Congrats to Ross and Renee!
