Despite having to deal with a lot of blood and gory operations, Rob says he is “pretty good” with it unlike his make-up and hair stylist.

He continued: “They won’t come near me when I have fake blood on me. In one episode, we do an emergency caesarean. When we screened it, the audience gasped. It looks exactly like it is. I have seen the real thing – I have two kids and one of them was by caesarean.”
