Paul was filming scenes for an appearance on Sooty's new TV show where the mischievous glove puppet was required to throw a slice of pizza at Paul's face.
Insiders say Sooty, now being worked by Richard Cadell, needed a second go at throwing the snack after Paul decided his first take was too weak. However, Sooty's second attempt knocked Daniels over and left him needing medical attention.
"It damaged his eye. We had to go to hospital and cancelled a gig," Daniels' agent Chris Davis explained. "But he's made a full recovery and is about to go to the Edinburgh Festival for a month."
Despite the trip to A&E, sources on the show insist the scene will feature when the programme is broadcast later this year. "Paul was such a good sport and so professional. He's insisted they use the scene where he got injured not the first one," they said before adding, "Well, he did suffer for his art, so it would be a shame to waste it."
