Kris Marshall in intensive care

Kris Marshall is in intensive care with a "serious head injury" after being hit by a car.

The actor, who is best known for starring in My Family and the BT ads, was knocked down while waiting with friends outside a pub just outside Bristol on Saturday.

His family are now at his bedside at the city's Royal Infirmary.

A friend told The Sun: "His family are obviously worried as any head injury causes great concern. But he is awake, which is some comfort to them."

A spokesman said: "Kris was in an accident and sustained a head injury. He is in a stable condition."

The 35-year-old also appeared in romantic comedy Love, Actually and police drama series Murder City.
