A MAJOR milestone has been met in the race to raise money for the EastEnders set worker left in a coma after plunging 11 floors from a roof in Colombia.

Yesterday EastEnders star Jake Wood urged fans to help set electrician Connor’s family to raise funds needed to cover his medical bills.

Now the gofundme page, which has a target of £30,000, has reached more than £26,000.

The EastEnders cast are among those who have donated, with the latest stars to pledge being Michelle Collins and Kitty Castledine.

Connor was travelling in Colombia over Christmas when the accident happened.

He spent nine days in a coma and had multiple life-saving surgeries with his mum saying it is a “miracle” he survived.

Yesterday Jake shared the gofundme page on Instagram and wrote: “Please help Connor and his family at this devastating time.

“He is a top man and respected by everyone here who works at the studios please help if you can thank you.”

Jake was among the first to donate, giving £200.

Scott Maslen has pledged £300, with Emma Barton, Gillian Taylforth, Jessie Wallace, Diane Parish, Colin Salmon, and Adam Woodyatt all giving £100.

Clair Norris contributed £50, while Jacqueline Jossa donated £200.

The family said they aren’t sure if Connor will receive an insurance payout or how long that process will take.

Page organiser Victoria Dean issued an update on January 2, sharing that Connor was aware his mum Denise was by his side.

It read: “After 9 days in a coma, he is now off of mechanical ventilation and breathing with minimal support.

“He remains in ICU and is still under light sedation, but is aware that Denise is there and is responding to her.

“He was due to have another surgery today, but this has been delayed and we are hoping to get a date for next week.

“Thank you so much for all of your support, it really means the world to all of us. Love from Denise & family Xxxx.”
