Get well soon, Siobhán!

Cork actress Siobhán McSweeney has broken her leg while in the midst of filming Holding in West Cork. In a tweet posted yesterday McSweeney, who is perhaps best known for playing Sister Michael on Derry Girls, thanked the Holding team for giving her time to recover.

“So. Who has two thumbs and a broken leg? ME I’m grand. I’m getting the best of care from the extraordinary nurses and drs here. #Holding production have been extraordinary in allowing me to recover and I’m excited to return to set.”

Holding is a crime-drama-comedy series based on the debut novel of the same name by Graham Norton, and stars McSweeney alongside Game of Thrones star Conleth Hill, and Oscar-winning actress Brenda Fricker.

McSweeney also thanked her friend and UK Labour Party councillor Kevin Brady, writing: “And of course thanks to @Kevin_J_Brady for being absolutely wonderful through this. The lengths I’ll go to in order to ruin his holiday. I’m very lucky to be surrounded by the best of people.

Hopefully Siobhán will be able to make a full recovery soon. In the meantime, she has reminded fans to watch the latest episode of her travel show Exploring Northern Ireland with Siobhán McSweeney, which airs tonight at 9pm on More4.
