In a heartfelt video posted on the NHS Organ Donation social media pages, Wyle has asked people to consider becoming an organ donor. In the UK, the organ transplant waiting list is currently at its highest ever level, with over 8,300 people waiting for an organ.

In the video, Wyle says: "Across the UK, someone dies every day waiting for an organ transplant. Would you accept an organ, if you needed one? Two minutes now can save up to nine lives. Your choice has never been more important. Confirm your decision on the NHS organ donor register. It's the best thing you'll do today."

The Dr Robby star also asks people to visit organdonation.nhs.uk. You can watch the video below.
