Tom shared a series of snaps of himself sitting in the emergency department as he waited to receive treatment from medics.

One image showed him sitting in the A&E waiting room, while another showed the McFly singer posing for the camera with a noticeably droopy eye.

Updating fans after his health scare, Tom revealed: “Home. Another 6 weeks of steroid eye drops here we go.”

The following day, he added: “I’ve literally been asleep all day. Just woken up.

“Third time I’ve had Uveitis and each time it’s wiped me out like this.”

Last year, Tom was diagnosed with debilitating condition Uveitis after suffering a similar scare in the run up to Christmas.

The NHS describes uveitis as inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea or uveal tract.

Symptoms include eye pain, redness and changes to a person's vision, such as blurry or cloudy eyesight.

The main treatment for the condition is steroids, often in the form of eye drops.

The day before falling ill, Tom delighted fans as he stripped off to his pants and jumped in the pond in he and wife Giovanna Fletcher's garden.

He captioned the hilarious video: “No tadpoles were harmed in the making of this video. The kids have said it’s @mrsgifletcher’s turn when she gets home tomorrow.”
