A Scottish soap star has issued a plea to his fans after finding himself on an operating table after 'ignoring infection' for a number of years.
Iain Robertson, 41, who plays Stevie O'Hara in BBC Scotland soap River City, took to social media with a snap of him lying in a hospital bed to tell his followers not to ignore worrying symptoms and to head to a doctor if you think there is something wrong with you.
The actor thanked staff at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for taking care of him and having his problem dealt with "swiftly".
