Bad news! Russell Howard breaks his hand on set

Get tweeting your get well wishes to Good News host Russell Howard, folks: the poor chap broke his hand on set last night.

Howard injured himself doing a stunt (it's unclear as to exactly what - though press-ups and a chair may have been involved) during the mystery guest item of the show, which was being recorded at London's Riverside Studios.

The comedian was rushed to A&E, where it was confirmed that he'd broken his hand. Although as series producer Mark Iddon tweeted: "It's his left hand, so, you know... Silver lining."

When asked if Russell would be using a stunt man in future, Iddon replied: "He's a machine. He'll be back in the edit today and begin writing again for next week's show immediately - the hard working SOB!"

At least that's some good news. Which is just what we - and Russell - like to hear. In the meantime, you can write on his virtual cast by sending a tweet with the #getwellsoonruss hashtag. Flowers and grapes optional.
