Olly’s knee injury
Olly was first forced to undergo major surgery on his knee last summer after suffering an accident on stage.
A fragment of bone had somehow managed to become dislodged from his knee during his performance.
It caused him to limp through the rest of his show while he panicked about what had happened.
Following the operation, he told fans on Instagram: “I honestly thought the worst.
“I thought I had ruptured my ACL [one of the ligaments that help stabilise your knee joint] being honest. This is great news, it really is positive.
“So this is great news, it really is positive… I’m so sorry I look like a bag of [bleep] this morning but I just wanted to update you guys on what’s going on.”
Olly went on to perform his next show under two weeks later, however suffered another accident on stage when he got suncream in his eye!
This isn’t the first time that Olly has had problems with his legs.
He first damaged the ligament in his knee while he was playing semi-professional football more than 10 years ago.
In 2019, he had an operation that involved a metal plate being inserted into his knee.
However, things took a turn for the worse when doctors suspected that an infection had developed that was potentially fatal.
