The 37-year-old took to his Instagram page to tell fans he was left limping after he landed badly following a jump on stage.

"During the gig I was just limping the whole time, I couldn't believe it. So, basically I'm in, I've had the surgery."

He went on to say that he wanted to get the surgery done as soon as possible because he has an upcoming gig on the 14th and 15th of August.

"I wanted to do this for you guys,” he said, continuing: “It will be a different gig, I probably won’t be running around like I normally do.

"There might be a stool for me to sit down on but I can't cancel these gigs."

Olly continued: "It's been a mad 72 hours because I thought the worst, I thought that I might have done my knee again. I thought I ruptured my ACL, to be honest."

“This is great news, it really is positive.

"I'm going to stay positive and rest up for the next few days. Lots of love, everyone."

The singer then went on to share a photo of the bones that had lodged in his knee in a clear plastic tube.

He wrote alongside it: "What are the chances?!"
