Ore Oduba Rushed for Emergency Eye Surgery

Former Strictly star Ore Oduba has revealed he was rushed to hospital with an eye emergency on Saturday that has left him 'seeing triple'.

The TV personality, 40, who won the show back in 2016, spent six hours at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital as medics checked over his 'blurring, dilated, weeping eyes' but said he was now on the road to recovery. 

Taking to his Instagram Stories he shared a snap of himself holding a dressing over his eye before later donning shades while leaving the hospital. 

He captioned the post : 'Sunglasses for the foreseeable - doctors orders. Thank you MCR again for coming to my aid. 6 hours on site, multiple scans and all my snacks devoured within 20 minutes.

'I leave seeing triple and with two months worth of meds! But we're very gratefully on the mend'.

The broadcaster did not reveal what exactly was wrong with his eye, but added: 'Holding hot, purple rubber glove over my blurring, dilated, weeping eyes was a new one. '

In November Ore bravely opened up for the first time about his secret 30-year porn addiction, as he admitted spending 'thousands and thousands' on adult content after .

Ore   The former couple share two children, Roman, seven, and Genie, four, whom they co-parent. 

Ore told the We Need To Talk podcast that it was only 18 months ago that he 'escaped my addiction'. 

'Shame kept me silent for 30 years. It took me 30 years, two deaths, and a divorce to finally go: here's what's happening,' he revealed. 

The father of two said he wanted to speak out now to highlight the issue of children seeing sexual imagery on social media. 

An emotional Ore said: 'This is me putting my life as it is on the line, to save my children and to guide anybody else's children going into a world where at their fingertips, they can fall into something they never asked to.'

He added: 'Part of me is terrified, the vast majority is terrified because I feel like, personally, for me, the rest of my life begins the day after this, as it's a kind of a seminal draw-the-line moment.' 

Ore said that he was first shown adult content on a computer by a friend's older brother, explaining: 'I remember being very intrigued and a feeling of eyes being opened. Whilst I wouldn't say addiction set in immediately, the intrigue started immediately.'

'And it didn't take long relatively speaking, for that intrigue to start running my mind over because at nine, at that age, you haven't necessarily got full access.'

'Wanting to find a way to address that intrigue, wanting to find ways of that awakening, wanting to replicate it or find it whether it was on television or in magazines.'

The former CBeebies presenter became a household name after he lifted the glitterball trophy in the show's most-watched final ever.

Over 13million viewers

Since then, he's branched out into a successful Musical Theatre career, starring as Caractacus Potts in the UK tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang among other shows, in recent months.

'They're going to come across it in life, so many of life's pitfalls, whether it's drink, drugs, money. It's something I knew I needed to address.

'This is, I believe, one of the biggest problems we have societally. There is such a prevalence. When we hear that 60 per cent of children are finding it accidentally, that it is cropping up on iPads, that it's just so normal.

'If we leave it, what's going to happen is these children start self-educating.'
