Wearing his hospital gown, the star thanked fans for their support and insisted he will still perform his scheduled shows this month, although his performances may not be as energetic.

Olly said in full: ‘Hey everyone, what’s happening. You’re probably thinking, what is going on? Why is Olly in a hospital bed? Well, I’ve just had surgery on my left leg, and as you can see, I’ve got my game on already to ice it.

‘Basically, for some of you who came to my Newmarket gig on Friday, thank you firstly for your kind messages and support and checking I was OK.

‘It’s been a mad 72 hours since the gig getting to this point. Basically, after my second song, a fragment of bone which was in my knee managed to lodge itself to the back of my knee after I jumped and basically shut my leg down.

‘During the gig, I was just limping the whole time, I couldn’t believe it. So basically I’m in, I’ve had the surgery, I wanted to get this done because I’ve got the Newby gig on the 14th and the Singleton Park on the 15th.

‘So I wanted to make sure I got this done for you guys. It will be a different gig, I probably won’t be running around like I normally do, there might be a stool for me to sit down on, but I can’t cancel these gigs for you guys.

‘It was such an amazing vibe on Friday at Newmarket so I’ll give it absolutely everything next week for you all.’

He concluded: ‘It’s been a mad 72 hours because I honestly thought the worst, I thought I might have done my knee again. So this is great news, it really is positive.

‘I’m so sorry I look like a bag of sh*t this morning, but I just wanted to send you a message and let you guys know what’s going on.’

In 2019, Olly revealed he had undergone a ‘serious’ knee operation in which his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) had been reconstructed.

At the time, he admitted that he would be going off social media for a few months to focus on his recovery and shared photos of himself laid up in bed.

One of the photos showed Olly’s bandaged left blooded leg while a short video displayed his leg secured in a brace from his thigh to his ankle as he balanced on crutches.
