Tom Malone Snr’s Humorous Hospital Update
Despite the scare, Tom kept his trademark humour intact. On Instagram, he joked:
“Woke up with a nappy as a dressing, was caught off guard when the nurse said she had to change my nappy! “Grateful to our NHS, top notch care. Thank you, home now!!!!”
He’s stayed tight-lipped on how the injury happened, but that hasn’t stopped fans and co-stars sending love and well wishes.

- Their other son, Tom Jr, was a long-time cast member before leaving in 2021.
