Warnie: Channel 9 release trailer for mini-series
The upcoming biopic of late cricketer Shane Warne has been thrown into chaos after the actors playing the legendary sportsman and his wife Simone Callahan were rushed to hospital.
Alex Williams, 33, and Marny Kennedy, 29, will star as the couple in the upcoming two-part miniseries entitled Warnie.
However during filming, the stars landed themselves in A&E after a sex scene went wrong.
Speaking to Australia’s Daily Telegraph Melbourne-born Marny revealed the details of the mishap, which saw she and her co-star left bandaged and bruised.
“It was during a little make out scene from when they [Shane and Simone] were younger,” she explained.
“We were going down a corridor and we were meant to push into the bedroom and land on the bed, but we both completely missed the bed.”
While it sounds like a straightforward enough accident the actress revealed their injuries were actually quite serious.
She broke her wrist while Alex cracked the back of his head open.
“We ended up sitting in the emergency room together, he with a bandage around his head and me with my wrist strapped,” she said.

Since the pair were rushed straight from the set they were also still in costume which meant they cut quite a striking figure as they visited the hospital primarily “for the elderly.”
Recalling the hilarious scene, she said: “It was just Alex and I with our bleached hair, fully still in wardrobe, sitting there surrounded by elderly residents.”
Despite the pain, the pair managed to see the funny side and designed amusing mugs for the cast and crew of the production emblazoned with a selfie of them sitting in the hospital.
Shane and Simone were married for a decade before divorcing in 2005 and their marriage.
Shane’s phenomenal rise and spectacular public fall from grace will all be covered in the miniseries.
