Joanne reveals her fighting spirit
 

Robin Hood new girl Joanne Froggatt left a stunt man needing stitches after a fight scene went wrong during filming of the BBC1 drama.

The former Coronation Street star loved throwing high kicks as village girl Kate, who has her eyes on Robin now that she's joined the outlaw's gang.

But, Joanne tells TV Times that one scene didn't go to plan.

"I ended up kicking one of the poor stunt guys in the face," she said. "He had to have three stitches, so I felt awful and bought him a bottle of whiskey to say sorry."

Luckily, the stunt man was made of tough stuff and was soon shooting another fight sequence with Joanne. "He must have some faith in me,’ she added.

The last series ended on a shocker when Guy of Gisborne killed Marian, so could Kate be the one to mend Robin's broken heart?

"She has a little eye for Robin, but I'm not sure how that turns out," teased Joanne.
