He told ITV’s Lorraine at the time: “I dislocated my thumb yesterday. It’s a lot of fuss over nothing. 

“When I was getting the X-rays and MRI scans yesterday I was thinking, ‘It’s just a thumb!’ but it’s more a precaution. I don’t want to lift Vanessa and have something happen. It’s precautionary and it’s fine.”

Get well soon, Jake!
