Talking to the camera he said: 'I'm having vocal cord surgery - this has been in the diary for a while, I had a cyst on my vocal cords.

'It's because I talk to much and shout too loudly and I keep losing my voice really easily.

'So yeah they are cutting it out, they are putting me to sleep, I've never been put to sleep before. I'm a bit nervous, I don't like not being in control.'

He then joked that his sister Louise was picking him up after the surgery even though he is 33 years old.
