Laurie: 'House' has ruined my knees'

Hugh Laurie has admitted that walking with a limp in House has hurt his knees.

Laurie has been playing Dr Gregory House, who walks with a cane, for five years.

However, he said that he may not be able to continue because of the effect on his knees, the Daily Mail reports.

"The show might last through to series seven, eight or nine but I don't know if I will because I'm starting to lose my knees," he explained.

"It's a lot of hip work. There are things going badly wrong. I need to do yoga."

Laurie has been nominated for best lead actor at this year's Emmy Awards.
