Default Valve snapped!!

Hi all. Driving home from work lastnight and doing about 45mph in 5th and car started misfiring and then making a light knocking noise. Dipped the clutch and turned angine off and coasted to a stop.
Took the cams out tonight and found that on No 2 cylinder on 1 exhaust valve it has snapped where the groove is that the collets locate in. So the valve cap and collets are still all as 1 but the valves snapped and still in the head.
Just wondered if any1 has seen this done before as ive never seen it.
Thanks Dale
