The Walking Dead's Samantha Morton, 43, begs 'wear a mask' as she's rushed to hospital

The Walking Dead's Samantha Morton has assured fans she's "on the mend" after being rushed to hospital.

Tagging her post "Covid 19", the 43-year-old shared to Twitter a photo of herself wearing a plastic face shield, surrounded by medical apparatus in her hospital bed.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, she thanked staff at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings.

Samantha wrote: "Thankyou to all the A and E staff at the Conquest who helped me tonight.

"I'm so grateful for our NHS, to see the red zone first hand and the nurses and doctors being so kind and wonderful to us all was humbling. I’m ok tonight because of them."

She added "save our NHS" and "wear a mask".
