Posting a selfie with a bandaged nose, he wrote a heartfelt message to fans in which he thanked them for their support.
He began: 'Hello lovely ladies and gentlemen. Time has finally come to reveal the news but first things first. THANK YOU all for the lovely birthday wishes!
"I appreciate every post, every message and I promise you I've felt very special and supported on this very important day in my life.
"Now about the photo - soon after my birthday I was hospitalised due to inability to breathe. I was taken into surgery and the photo was taken right after I had come out of the surgical room."

The actor also shared that he chose to keep the ordeal private until now to avoid alarming anyone.
He added: 'As always and those who know me closer, I went through this in silence as I didn't want to scare or worry anybody. I've always been this way. I fight through struggles in quiet.
"Of course I had support from the few I had told and my family for which I'm very thankful.'
Thankfully, Stan said he's now on the mend and looking forward to a full recovery.
He continued: 'I am still recovering and things are looking great. I will be able to breathe freely, experience all scents of life, which was something I had lost over the past months.
"I will be able to sleep without struggles, recover properly with peaceful sleep and be at my full powers very soon.'

He added that he currently has 'a few pieces planted' in his nose, meaning he can't speak properly and has temporarily paused his Cameo bookings.
Stan explained: 'I stopped it, so I'm not available for bookings until I can talk properly again."
A recent checkup, however, brought some good news.
He said: 'I had a checkup with my doctor today and he said that I'm recovering really well and was actually quite surprised with my progress. I guess all the healthy diets, training and self control and belief help in such cases."
"Thank you all for all the love and support as always! Much love from me to you all and have a wonderful and majestic weekend ahead. Yours truly, Stan.'

Molly-Mae confesses to secret Tommy reunion struggle as duo enjoy staycation
Molly-Mae Hague has admitted there are certain parts of her newfound relationship with boxer and Love Island partner Tommy Fury that she is struggling to deal with Reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague has admitted there are parts of her rekindled romance with Tommy Fury that she is still struggling with. The former Love Island pair stunned fans last year when they announced their shock split after five years together. However, the parents of Bambi have decided to give love another go and went public recently after keeping their reunion under wraps. Since announcing they are back together, the family of three have enjoyed several sweet trips, including a staycation in the Cotswolds this weekend. But the Maebe founder has admitted it's not all smooth sailing. Speaking to her fans in her latest vlog update on YouTube, Molly-Mae confessed it has felt strange adjusting back to having their relationship in the open. She candidly discussed how she struggled on the family's recent trip to Disneyland Paris. She told the camera: "Disneyland was just like… I don't want to say not enjoyable, because we had a lovely time. Disneyland was just, we went at the wrong time.' Molly-Mae explained how the trio went to the park with loved ones during the school holidays. However, duo to their status, she revealed the family was constantly being filmed and photos being taken. Despite trying to play down the situation, she said she noticed a number of people snapping them without permission. And it was that which was the hardest part of the trip as they had their young daughter in tow, Molly admitted. She went on: "At Disneyland, when I was with Bambi, it's quite hard to navigate that. When you have a toddler, you're out with your partner, and there's already a little bit of a new thing that you're back out together, and you're trying to navigate that, and then you can see people looking and staring and filming." Molly-Mae added: "It was my birthday as well, and it was just like… kind of tricky to figure out if we were having boundaries, or there weren't any boundaries." She admitted the incident has meant she won't be rushing back to enjoy a family trip out in the open anytime soon. Despite saying "we should have known better," Molly said their newfound relationship's attention means they will "feel it more now". "It's just a bit like new territory," she said. "Because for people it's a bit like taboo, I don't know, but if people see us out, it's like 'oh, like let's film!' I don't know – I just think I maybe felt it a bit more this time." Over the weekend, Molly also shared a number of sweet snaps from their more intimate time away together in the Cotswolds. Posting to Instagram, Molly said: "This look is giving mum who's had approx 3 seconds to get ready." She then posted a photo taken at Aynhoe Park, a 17th-century country estate located at the boundaries of Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire - just next to the Cotswolds - and wrote "Restoration Hardware place is my heaven. Interior spam incoming." The mum-of-one continued to upload a series of images of the venue's luxurious interior, including two adorable photos of Bambi carrying a little pram while walking around the rooms. She also posted pictures of her favourite bedrooms and explained how her daughter put her baby doll to bed in every room of the building.

Family of Race Across The World's Sam Gardiner ‘overwhelmed' by support
The family of Race Across The World contestant Sam Gardiner have issued a message of thanks for the love and support following their son's death and also thanked people for donations to a fundraising campaign set up in his memory. The 24-year-old, who competed in the BBC One series alongside his mother Jo, died following a car crash last month. A JustGiving page launched in his memory by his family, in aid of National FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder), has so far raised more than £10,000. His mother said: 'We have been overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of messages of love and support on social media and in comments to press reporting. 'We would like to thank the BBC, Studio Lambert and everyone at Race Across The World production, fellow contestants and fans of the show for all their support at this terrible time. It has been very comforting to know that Sam touched so many people. — Race Across The World (@RATW_official) June 1, 2025 'I have been particularly moved by all the messages that Sam was an inspiration to many who have been impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. 'We adopted Sam and he was diagnosed with FASD. As viewers of season two will recall, this was a big challenge both for Sam and for us as his parents. 'National FASD helped us on that journey. If some good comes of this tragedy, it will be that FASD is better understood.' Mr Gardiner was driving a white Volkswagen Golf R estate when it came off the road and rolled before landing on its side. The accident happened on the A34 in Gatley, near Cheadle, on Monday May 26 and he died on May 29 from his injuries, his family said last week. Broadcast in March 2020, Sam and Jo ventured across Mexico and Argentina as part of the second series of the BBC show. Mr Gardiner's father Andrew said: 'When the news broke last week, friends asked how they could help. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NationalFASD (@nationalfasd) 'After some thought, I decided to set up a JustGiving page to raise money for National FASD in memory of Sam. The page is called Sam Gardiner; Super Human. 'I set the target at £500 thinking a few friends might be generous enough to make a donation. So far it's raised 20 times that. It's very humbling to see the RATW family rally to this worthy cause.' The National Organisation for FASD says on its official website that it 'provides support to people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, their families and communities, campaigns to raise public awareness, and promotes relevant policies and practices'. The website also describes FASD as resulting 'when prenatal alcohol exposure affects the developing brain and body.. It says: 'FASD is a spectrum. Each person with FASD is affected differently. 'While more than 400 conditions can co-occur, FASD is at its core a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. All people with FASD have many strengths. Early diagnosis and appropriate support are essential, especially for executive functioning.' A message on the official National FASD Instagram account said: 'Sam lived his life full of love, exuberance and adventure as seen on BBC's Race Across the World. 'National FASD is both humbled and honoured to help carry on his legacy via donations coming from hundreds.'
