Doctors have set a six-week crutch period with a 12-week pause on long-haul flights.

Overview

  • He left Cromwell Hospital in Kensington and posted a photo at home with customized “Breaking News” crutches gifted by Amanda Holden and Chris Hughes.
  • The 60-year-old tripped on a small step in a London hotel restaurant, fracturing the neck of his femur and requiring a hip replacement.
  • From his hospital bed he shared a selfie and an X-ray and thanked supporters for their messages.
  • Friend Andrea Catherwood arranged a meal from The Devonshire, with landlord Oisín Rogers delivering lamb chops to his bedside.
