What has Olly said?
“When I had the operation my left leg had to be straightened and they put a plate in,” Olly said, speaking on Instagram Live.
“After three months the plate got infected so then I had to get rushed back into hospital, they thought it was sepsis.
“They had to open me up again in case the infection spread. So it got nasty.”
In June, Olly posted a picture of himself in hospital, saying he was taking a break while his leg healed.

“I’ve been recovering from serious knee surgery, something I’ve needed for sometime,” he explained at the time.
“I’m not quite sure how I’m going to cope sitting still like this for the next few months.
I had to get rushed back into hospital, they thought it was sepsis.
“I’m also going to use this time as an opportunity to take myself off social media for a while.
“Focus on my recovery and spend some time on myself, with friends and family.”

Olly went back to work
“I was back at The Voice three or four months after it. I don’t know how I got to The Voice,” he admitted during his live video.
“It was so important for me to get my leg done because there wouldn’t be shows.
“Obviously with this knee I’m not being able to perform on stage to my best ability for my fans. I needed to give it a year. I need to do rehab.”
Olly is currently in isolation with his bodybuilder model girlfriend Amelia Tank.
