I’m A Celeb star sparks concern as he shares snap from hospital bed after undergoing second surgery in six months
A FAN favourite I’m A Celeb star sparked concern after sharing a snap from a hospital bed.
The celebrity revealed he was having his second surgery in six months.
Best known as a member of Diversity, Jordan Banjo has taken part in I’m A Celeb on two occasions.
Taking to Instagram, he captioned the hospital snap: “Second surgery in 6 months, boxing ain’t a joke.
“Bicep reattached, now the road to recovery.”
Followers soon flooded Jordan’s comments section to share their support and well-wishes.
His former jungle campmate Lisa Snowdon wrote: “Get well soon Jordan.”
Someone else penned: “Hope you are back firing on all cylinders soon Jord.”
A third chimed in: “Hope you have a speedy recovery Jord!”
While a fourth remarked: “Get yourself better dude!!! Miss my big pal.
“Best wishes for a speedy recovery.”
Jordan first starred on I’m A Celebrity back in 2016 – seven years after Diversity triumphed on Britain’s Got Talent.
He joined Carol Vorderman, Joel Dommett, Wayne Bridge, Larry Lamb and Sam Quek, among others.
While Jordan was fourth to leave, then-Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt went on to win.
Last year, he returned to take part in ITV all-star series I’m A Celebrity: South Africa.
That time around, the dancer was the runner-up, behind Myleene Klass.
