"I'm urging everyone to please take severe pain in the abdominal area serious as I've ever experienced excruciating pain like this and knew something wasn't right.

"Blood tests and CT scans indicated I needed surgery. I'm grateful it was caught in time."

He went on: "Of all times of the year it had to be Eurovision night here alone not watching it with John and my family and dogs."

However, he did manage to get the singing competition on his hospital TV, writing: "Yes Eurovision let's go."

And he was soon cheering on "Ice Ice Iceland" from his bed.

"Just thinking about the conversation between me and the nurse who had the honour... I swear it's a grower.

"Numbing Lube yes please go crazy. Is it in? Something has definitely hit it 😭."
