Yesterday saw Phillip undergo surgery on his right eye.

Phillip has previously undergone eye surgery to treat eye floaters that “blight his eye-sight”.

The TV star took to his Instagram yesterday to show his fans that he’d had further surgery on his eye.

In the picture, Phillip can be seen in a hospital gown, surrounded by medics. His right eye had a bandage around it.

“Now my right eye is done!” he captioned the story. “Thank you Prof Stanga and his amazing team.”

He added: “If the success of my summer is to be ‘floater’ free, that’s good enough for me.”

“Ski goggles! Genius [laughing emoji].”

In another story, Phillip posed with the ski goggles and a wooly hat.

“May as well go all in,” he captioned the snap.
