Neighbours star Christopher Milligan has opened up over his recent sporting injury, which has forced him to take a break from the soap.
Last month, it was announced that the actor would have to take five weeks off from his role as Ramsay Street's Kyle Canning after snapping an Achilles tendon while playing football.
Speaking about the incident for the first time, Milligan told TV Week: "In the last seconds of the match, I went to turn and run, and just dropped to the ground.
"I thought someone had kicked me from behind, so I turned to yell at them, but no-one was there. That's when I knew something was wrong."
Milligan added that co-stars Jordan Smith (Andrew Robinson), Gemma Pranita (Jade Mitchell), Valentina Novakovic (Natasha Williams) and Jordy Lucas (Summer Hoyland) have been among those supporting him in recent weeks.
"The girls came to visit me in hospital," he said. "Gemma, Valentina and Jordy bought me chocolate and lollies, but they ate them while visiting! Jordan bought me a massive pink teddy bear - I got a couple of looks when leaving the hospital!"
Neighbours bosses have covered Kyle's unexpected absence from Ramsay Street by casting Luke Pegler as his cousin Dane, who has taken over his role in a storyline currently being filmed.
