James was flooded with support from his fans and celebrity friends as rugby pro Thom Evans wrote: "Speedy recovery bud." Wayne Lineker added: "That’s the best looking I’ve seen you tbf mate." Former England captain Lawrence Dallaglio wrote: "Just keep talking to yourself and you’ll fall asleep in no time to get some rest, who’s delivering the Nobu?"

Phil Vickery shared: "Look after yourself big man," as a follower commented: "Noooo darling!!!" James could be seen with his arm in a sling but managed to keep a smile on his face. The injury comes just before his holiday with estranged wife Chloe Madeley and their daughter Bodhi, two.

The former couple announced they had split last September after five years of marriage, while their ITV reality series Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair was airing. They were surrounded by split rumours, with the pair finally confirming their relationship status in joint messages.

As part of a lengthy post, they said their "sole focus" was now on Bodhi and "we shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love". A year on from their split, Chloe opened up on their co-parenting. "We have found a way to do it, but it's not always great. We have really hard times with it sometimes," she candidly told Closer Magazine.

"We also still argue, there's no denying that and it'll probably be this way forever. But James and I, whatever our disagreements, are adamant that we won't weaponise Bodhi or use her as a bargaining tool." Chloe's famous dad Richard Madeley recently revealed the pair will soon be going on a family holiday to France together.
