Marshall makes "remarkable recovery"

Actor Kris Marshall has made a "remarkable" recovery from head injuries he sustained after being hit by a car last weekend in Bristol.

A spokeswoman for the 35-year-old, who has starred in My Family and a series of BT broadband adverts, said: "Thankfully, he is in the clear and is at home recovering.

"We wanted to get him home in secret to ensure he was given enough time to recover for rehearsals, which he could return to as early as next week. He has made a remarkable recovery."

It was thought that Marshall would return to rehearsals for his West End play Fat Pig this week.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that the driver of the car that hit the actor was not drunk.

He said: "Police spoke to the driver of the car involved, which was a VW Polo. He stopped immediately after the collision and we are looking into how it happened. He was not a drink-driver."
