DANCING On Ice star Greg Rutherford has shared an update on his show injury after missing out on competing in the final.
The Olympic legend revealed he is in a lot of pain after having surgery.
He posted two photos from hospital, and told fans: “Operation done. Recovery starts here.
“Thank you for all your messages. It was a slightly bigger op than originally hoped, but it’s all sorted.
“Surgeons really happy with his work and I’m excited to get fit again.
“But for the next few days I’m going to be very sore and doing a lot of nothing.”
His followers shared their well wishes, and one replied: “So sorry to see this mate. Get well soon.”
Another said: “Sending positive healing vibes.”
The retired Olympian sensationally pulled out of the final of the hit ITV show after suffering a ‘freak accident’ hours before he was due to take to the ice.
The final saw former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas crowned as the winner.
Greg later uploaded footage of the rehearsal of his last showcase performance onto his Instagram grid page.
The 37-year-old was then rushed to hospital and has since been posting a number of updates for fans.
But he has yet to reveal how the injury happened.
And Greg’s fiance Susie Verrill has attempted to squash speculation.
She told fans: “It really isn’t anything gory or horrifying; just very painful and a bit of a freak accident.
“He hasn’t gone in to it because specialists have been working out how to pinpoint it/work out next steps so I think the show were keen not to say anything until they have official report back.”
She added: “Hope that clears it up!”
