John Bishop has revealed he was involved in a car crash when he swerved to avoid a “big chicken”.
The Doctor Who star, 54, said he was driving through Wales on his way to catch a ferry to Ireland when the accident happened.
He shared photos on Instagram of his Land Rover smashed into a metal post at the side of the road and the windscreen shattered.

Bishop confirmed he missed the ferry anyway and instead travelled as a foot passenger on a later crossing.
He wrote: “I was driving to catch a ferry to Ireland when something happened!!
“To avoid a car that was swerving to avoid a ‘big chicken’ as I overtook I ended up like this.
“Nobody was hurt thanks to @landrover_uk being brilliant and no oncoming traffic.
“I missed my ferry but went on as a foot passenger on a later one thank to James and Tony from @dyfedpowyspolice .
“Amazing how helpful people can be when you need them and thanks to the other drivers for staying including Andrew who I think sadly hit the ‘big chicken’ anyway.”
Earlier this year it was revealed that the comedian is the latest addition to the Doctor Who cast.

He plays a character called Dan, who “becomes embroiled in the Doctor’s adventures”.
Bishop will star alongside Whittaker and Mandip Gill, who returns as Yaz.
