Filming after surgery, Ben had told followers: “So they have repaired the ACL and the meniscus, so now starts the rehab, the very slow rehab.”

The TV presenter, who could be seen in his hospital gown as he said: “I have to say though, the painkillers seem to be doing the job right now.”

Ben previously revealed the “dramatic” moment he severed nerves in his leg playing football – and kept going for 25 minutes.

He shared at the time: “You may remember a few weeks ago I played in the cup final of the Arthur Dunn veterans’ cup.

“We won the cup final, but I started with two legs and ended with one.

“Without realising, I have ruptured my ACL, torn the meniscus and fractured part of my leg as well.

“Interestingly, I didn’t realise I’d done it quite so bad. I kept playing for 20 or 25 minutes before I thought, ‘it feels a little bit unstable, maybe I should stop’.

“It turns out I’d severed all the nerves, which is why I couldn’t feel any pain, so just sort of carried on playing.”
