London - Actor Kris Marshall, who plays the fair-haired boyfriend in the latest BT adverts, is recovering in a Bristol hospital after being struck by a car, his publicist said on Monday.
Marshall, 35, sustained head injuries after the collision in the town's city centre, Avon and Somerset police said in a statement.
Marshall, who also starred in the hit BBC comedy show My Family and appeared in the film Love Actually, had been out with friends on Saturday night.
His injuries were not life threatening, the publicist said.
"I can confirm that Kris Marshall was involved in an accident in Bristol on Saturday night and sustained a head injury," she said in a statement.
"He is currently in a stable condition in hospital and is expected to be discharged within the next couple of days."
She would not confirm media reports that he was in intensive care. A police spokesperson said the driver of the Volkswagen car stopped immediately and later passed an alcohol breath test.
Investigations were continuing.
