The injury came not long after he announced that his mother had sadly passed away.
In a message to fans at the time, he said that it was a “massive setback” in his recovery, and described it as a “hellish few weeks”.
The presenter admitted he was making “slow progress” but was “desperate for results”.

“Slow progress...but great dedication to me here."
“I’m so desperate for results,” he added.
