Coronation Street<\/a> and Waterloo Road<\/a> star Liam Scholes has shared a positive update after going through a bit of an ordeal while on holiday in Egypt<\/a> with his girlfriend Roisin Riley.<\/p>\n

The actor, who played Eli Higginson on Corrie and currently plays Noel McManus on the BBC One school drama, revealed earlier in the week that he had been attacked by a monkey while enjoying his time abroad.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the actor shared an Instagram Story revealing that he had to make another hospital trip in Hurghada before he was allowed to leave.<\/p>\n

“Back to the hospital before flying home!!” he wrote. “I promise you guys I am safe and well! Will update and give you the story when I’m home!”<\/p>\n

He followed that up with another Story of himself and Roisin about to board the plane to head home.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, he explained that he “nearly got killed by a monkey in the desert” and was placed on an IV drip.<\/p>\n

“Liam Scholes doesn’t have the same monkey [appeal] as the rest of the Scholes clan. Monkey 1, Liam 0,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

He thanked girlfriend Roisin for being his “very own lifesaver” and promised he’d tell the full story in an Instagram Reel at some point.<\/p>\n

Liam was only a cast member on Corrie for a few months in 2021, with his character being a friend of the evil Corey Brent who gave false testimony during the investigation into Seb Franklin’s death.<\/p>\n

He later joined Waterloo Road as Noel, a jokey student who wasn’t very good at anything academic, but has a talent and passion for music, as well as for cooking.<\/p>\n

The character recently became a kitchen assistant at the school, which meant that he had to hide his relationship with other half Stace Neville, who is still a student.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and streams on ITVX, while Waterloo Road airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n
