An injury caused by a samurai sword left a popular TV comedian needing hospital treatment.<\/p>\n

Paddy Young, part of the cast of Sky’s Saturday Night Live UK, shared the news on social media.<\/p>\n

As well as snaps from the hospital bed and throughout his recovery, the 34-year-old revealed: “Cut my finger with a samurai sword!”<\/p>\n

He added: “Thank you, Bebe Ed Horatio, for breastfeeding me back to good health. Thank you, Sam, for bringing the sword to my home and running away when I fainted.”<\/p>\n

Paddy hilariously added: “Fringe run 90% sold out. Tendon 90% lacerated. Aura 100% lost. Tour selling fast \u2013 see u there.”<\/p>\n

In one photo, the comic was all smiles in the hospital bed despite his entire left hand being bandaged. In others, Paddy posed with concerned friends whilst wearing a sling and maintaining his humour, reports the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While he appeared to be recovering well, emotional fans rushed to the comments with well-wishes. As one penned: ” Nooooooooooo!!!!! Hope you will feel better soon, Paddy.”<\/p>\n

Another echoed: “Man, those compression socks are the worst! Get well soon, Paddy.”<\/p>\n

“This is a very chill response to a friend causing you to lose the use of your hand,” remarked one fan.<\/p>\n

As a fourth added: “Omg get better soon bud, we miss you on our TV screens on Saturday nights, good luck with touring.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, SNL UK director Will Farrell joked: “Sam told me he thought the sword wouldn\u2019t have cut you if you were honourable.”<\/p>\n

Paddy joined the cast of the British SNL show alongside Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, George Fouracres, Ania Magliano, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep, and Emma Sidi.<\/p>\n
