The star wrote: “So it wasn’t on my letter to Santa for two major operations – one to reattach my bicep and a second to build a new ACL and mend two years in the meniscus.

“Thank you to my two magnificently talented surgeons – Mr Ahrens for the bicep and Mr Jig Patel for the knee.

I want to be walking normally by start of February for the next DIY SOS.

“Three types of knee brace and one type of elbow brace – crutches – game ready ice and pressure machine – pressure leggings – physio stretching out fir months ahead but I want to be walking normally by start of February for the next DIY SOS.”

He went on to praise his fiancée Katie Dadzie.
