Blue's Duncan James has shared a video from his hospital bed after he was forced to undergo surgery.
The 46-year-old pop star kept his fans in the loop about his condition post-surgery, which was necessitated due to a previous procedure going awry. He explained: "Some of you may or may not know I had to go into hospital yesterday,".
"I was admitted to have a correction of a procedure that I had two weeks ago that went a little bit wrong So I was rushed in and had it all fixed, I was kept in overnight and I'm just waiting to find out if I can go home today - fingers crossed."
"However, it does mean I won't be able to attend the Foodies Festival today or the Hits Radio Live in Liverpool today which I'm gutted about because I really wanted to do that but the doctors have told me I need to rest up, I need to heal, I need to make sure everything is good where it should be good." Duncan issued his fans with a heartfelt apology: "So I just want to say I'm sorry if I've let anyone down, I am on the mend, I am getting better."

One critic remarked: "Please leave your face alone, you're good-looking. Too much ruins it." Another cynically stated, "Well u have the money for it," while a third complained: "Why you look old now? " One humorous response was, "You do realize there's this thing that happens to people called ageing...", and yet another pointedly told him, "Well, you have the money for it."
However, Duncan wasn't fazed by the critics, happily sharing with his followers, "My skin is absolutely glowing." The treatment did not involve any surgery, and despite the cynical comments, he was content with the results. Apart from rosacea, Duncan also struggles with a severe condition called cauda equina syndrome.
According to NHS guidelines, this rare ailment causes the nerves in the lower back to compress tightly. If neglected, the excruciating pain can result in paralysis, which necessitates urgent medical intervention.
