Taking to Instagram, Jason revealed he had been dealing with Appendicitis.
According to the NHS, Appendicitis is " swelling and infection in your appendix (part of your bowel)" - and causes pain in the lower right side of the abdomen.
Jason captioned his post: "Appendix surgery all went well, now in recovery with my Vimto, they serve it in all Manchester hospitals.
"Bit of a scary & extremely painful 24 hours but thankful to our NHS & my incredible nurse mum who's a godsend in a health crisis!
"My advice would be to not get Appendicitis whilst driving at 70mph on the motorway!
"Seriously though, I'm gutted that I've had to move the dates this weekend, and I'm sorry for the late notice to so many people in St Albans, Oxford, Lincoln, Skegness & at Kendall Calling."
He added: "I thought I could get by on antibiotics and surgery at a later date so I could still do the shows, but was advised not to.
"Also means I can't fly out to Portugal on Monday to join my family on holiday! Ah well, such is life.
"Thanks for all the 'Get Well Soon' messages."
One fan commented: "Get fixed soon! Vimto is a fixer!"
Jason Manford left furious after being forced to share hotel room
Another added: "Glad you got sorted out!! Hope you have a speedy recovery."
While a third chimed in: "Speedy recovery Jason, you'll be back on that padel court in no time."
The funnyman had been set to perform as part of his A Manford All Seasons tour in Hertfordshire on Wednesday.
Organisers confirmed that those who purchased tickets would be able to attend an upcoming show in October.
They took to his X account just hours before the show, writing: "We regret to inform you that tonight's performance of A Manford All Seasons at The Alban Arena has been unexpectedly cancelled due to Jason Manford being unwell and will now be rescheduled to Mon 20th Oct 2025.
"Thank you for understanding, we apologise for any inconvenience caused."
The post appeared to be shared by Jason's team rather than himself, which sparked further concern from fans, with one writing: "Get well soon but perhaps stop burning the candle at both ends."
A second commented: "Get well soon Jase, take it easy fella."
"Sorry to hear this Jason. Wish you better. I was really looking forward to it," a third said.

Liam Neeson's sister-in-law approves of romance following late wife's tragic death
Liam Neeson's former sister-in-law has given a sweet sign of approval towards his new blossoming romance with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson following his late wife's death Liam Neeson 's former sister-in-law Joely Richardson has given her nod of approval for his new reported relationship with Hollywood star Pamela Anderson, 16 years after his late wife passed away in a tragic accident. Liam's late wife, Natasha, tragically passed away after sustaining a serious injury to her brain following a skiing accident when she was just 45 years old. The couple were married for 15 years and shared two children, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28. Since Natasha's sudden death, Liam has mostly remained single, except for a 2-year relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston. That was up until recent times when he sweetly announced that he is in a relationship with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson. Liam, 73, and Pamela, 58, are starring in a new comedy together, Naked Gun, where it is rumoured their romance started. The former Baywatch star shared an Instagram post which included the Taken actor, along with the caption: 'The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! I'll see you there.' Joely, the younger sister of Liam's late wife, commented a string of red hearts, which more than 750 Instagram users have liked. The sweet sign of approval by Joely comes after Pamela shared she how she impressed Liam with her homemade cooking, more specifically, sourdough bread and muffins. While she is highly known for her iconic red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela is also a renowned cook and has even brought out her own cookbook. I Love You: Recipes From The Heart was nominated for a 2025 James Beard Award. At a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday, Pamela shared: "[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you're always nervous the first day on the set..." "I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble ... It's a very special [muffin] recipe. It's very good for you. Let's just say that." According to the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending quality time at Pamela's Canadian home, bonding over shared interests like gardening and baking. A source revealed to DailyMail: 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive. "She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs."

Love Island fans horrified by 'disgusting sex scenes' between Meg and Dejon
ITV viewers have slammed steamy bedroom scenes of Megan and Dejon tonight as 'disgusting' and 'too much' after they kissed and made up following their latest spat Love Island viewers have been left horrified by some very raunchy bedroom scenes between official couple Meg and Dejon tonight. After kissing and making up following their huge spat after date night, Meg and Dejon were filmed getting hot and steamy under the blankets, but viewers were less than impressed as they called the scenes 'disgusting'. Taking to X, horrified fans shared their stern opinions on the villa's least favourite couple this season. It comes after it was revealed that one couple will be ordered to leave the villa just hours before the big ITV final. "Every time love island shows meg & dejon getting busy under the sheets an angel loses its wings," one viewer quipped. Another echoed: "Seriously mug and mustard need to chill it in the bedroom. idk how the others do it. I understand its love island blah blah blah. but like you CAN feel uncomfortable when someone is doing the tango in the same room as you." "Six minutes into today's episode and Dejon has mentioned the fact he's on Love Island and Meg has said 'but we're boyfriend and girlfriend now.' Get them out. WHY ALWAYS WITH THE BLOODY SEX SCENES TOO," another viewer raged. Someone else quipped: "OMG!! That was literally like soft porn. Why do we need to see this. Nobody needs to see Meg doing the business." As we get ready for the semi-final of one of the most dramatic series of Love Island yet, two more islanders will be brutally dumped from the villa as they get voted off by their former friends and foes, who aren't holding back. One couple won't be making it to the final of the show, as ITV 's latest teaser revealed a dramatic scene showing all the former islanders returning to the iconic villa one last time to make a huge decision. ITV took to Instagram to share the short clip from Sunday evening's episode, along with the caption: "First look! Ex-Islanders return for a savage dumping, and they're not holding back." Maya Jama appears to have returned to Mallorca one last time as she gets ready for the final and is seen entering the villa to announce the latest twist. After a dramatic slow-motion walk into the villa, the presenter announces: "Hello, hello, hello. Are you alright my loves? How was the dates? Are you all loved up? Well I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?" The remaining islanders are Yas and Jamie, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira, Ty and Angel and Meg and Dejon. Maya informs them: "Well today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island villa and that decision will be made by some very familiar faces." The returning islanders included Sophie Lee, who entered at the start of the series and was the first to be dumped on day two. Viewers will also see the return of Tommy, who was previously one of the favourites to win the show but was dumped by Shakira. The latest teaser sent fans into a frenzy with many of them predicting who will be the couple dumped. One viewer commented: 'Sorry, but after Thursday and Friday, it's gotta be Meg and Dejon. Their time is up', while another added: 'Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!' A third shared their thoughts and wrote: 'For all the years of watching Love Island, it's my first time feeling this nervous about the finals. I swear my anxiety level is through the roof'. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
