This Morning star 'battling on' after suffering painful injury in accident
"What have you done, Dr. Hussain?" Cat asked the doctor, who replied: "I fell off my bike. I fractured my clavicle but it's alright, it's alright." He added: "I'm battling on."
Dr. Hussain took to Instagram at the weekend to open up about his injury, revealing that he ended up in Warwick's Accident and Emergency department after the fall.
"Well today did not go to plan. An early ride ended with my shoulder eating tarmac, broken clavicle and next weekends world champs redemption over," he wrote alongside a photo of him pouting with his arm in a sling.
"Staying positive and controlling what I can. Thank you to Warwick a&e for being amazing and great to have friends looking after me."
Shortly afterwards he posted a second photo of his bruises and injuries. "A massive thank you to all the lovely messages and kind support. I don't take it for granted," he wrote in the caption.
"The numerous phone calls with friends has really helped shift my mood. Sure I'm upset I can't compete at next weekends world champs but life is long and you don't always get what you want.
"I will come back stronger. I can get a lot of work done! I can catch up with friends. Training now focuses on rehab. Need to find some more hobbies to fill up the time void! Any ideas?! #rehab."

Over-50s provided more donated organs than ever before last year, data shows
The highest-ever proportion of organ donors in the UK last year were over the age of 50, according to officials. However, only one in four people on the organ donation register are 50 or over, NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) said. NHSBT analysis found there were 932 donors aged above 50 last year, making up 63% of all people who donated organs after death – the highest-ever proportion. It is now calling for more people in the age group to sign the NHS Organ Donor Register. Anthony Clarkson, director for organ and tissue donation and transplantation at NHSBT, said: 'We know from research many people aged over 50 mistakenly think they're too old to donate or that their health might stop them donating. 'However, more and more research shows that organs from older donors are lifesaving. 'The reality is the over-50s are more important to organ donation than ever. There is no age limit to organ and tissue donation, and people die every day waiting for a transplant.' According to NHSBT, the rise could be down to the ageing population, public awareness of organ donation, new techniques and more research which shows that organs from older donors can be successfully used. Nick Beresford, from London, became an organ donor at 57. He was working as the resident representative of the United Nations Development Programme in Georgia in July 2023 when he had a brain haemorrhage. His kidneys and liver were donated and transplanted into three recipients: a man in his fifties, a woman in her sixties, and another woman in her fifties. Mr Beresford's wife Angela, 51, a pilates instructor, said: 'Nick spent his whole life helping people living in extreme poverty, people with disabilities and the marginalised. He was a truly good and generous man. He was a fantastic dad and the love of my life. 'Being a donor gives others that chance, that's probably the most beautiful thing a person can do. 'I would definitely encourage other people over 50 to join the NHS Organ Donor Register – you could still save lives if something happens.' Margaret Humphries, from Richmond in London, also donated both kidneys after a brain haemorrhage aged 65. Husband John, a retired manager, said: 'My darling wife was a very giving person. Margaret's two children from her first marriage and I all agreed that donation was the right decision. 'Margaret was an absolute angel. It was very fitting that her last action would be to save somebody else.' Mr Clarkson added: 'Your organs don't need to be the same as when you in your 20s – if someone will die without a transplant, a healthy organ from someone over 50 will be a lifesaver.'

Get fat jabs, be ‘beach ready'. Is this Labour minister working for Cosmo in 2005?
The government minister Peter Kyle has been criticised for saying that he hopes people will use a new £85 million NHS fat jabs trial to 'look their best' and — wait for it — be 'beach ready'. Beach ready? Beach ready? Hilarious. Why is a man in the cabinet talking as if he has swallowed a copy of Cosmopolitan magazine circa 2005? Cosmopolitan, incidentally, is famous for its ludicrous sex tips. What next? Ministers solemnly advising the nation to prod their partner's buttocks playfully with a fork or women to use their breasts 'as paintbrushes'? Both genuine tips, FYI. You dip the old girls in edible body paint. Being a busy person I make my breasts multitask by also touching up the skirting boards.

NHS landlord Assura backs takeover by PHP in boost for London
Two large NHS landlords are to merge after shareholders voted to pursue a tie-up rather than selling to KKR, the American private equity group, for £1.7 billion. Assura shareholders had until Tuesday to decide whether to take the cash offer tabled by KKR and Stonepeak Partners, its bidding partner, or merge with Primary Health Properties (PHP) instead. Both sides needed a simple majority to claim victory. Defying expectations of a closer vote, 62.9 per cent backed the PHP merger. KKR and Stonepeak got less than 17 per cent. Andrew Saunders, a real estate industry analyst at Peel Hunt, said it was 'not only a victory for [PHP] but also one for critical UK infrastructure, the UK stock market, the delivery of healthcare in the British Isles and society at large in our view'.
