Former Holby City star Jeremy Edwards is suing the BBC after damaging his spine on a CBBC show.
The 48-year-old actor is said to have injured his back while throwing a man on to a couch in a scene on Millie Inbetween.
Now, according to reports from The Sun , the former soap star, who played Millie’s stepdad Mike, is suing Zodiak Kids Studio UK Ltd for more than £100,000.
As well that these reports, the central London county court papers also state that the ex-Holby City heart-throb had to repeat the throw “over and over” again in 2016 without training.
