Welsh presenter Gethin Jones has shared his disappointment over missing a huge Cardiff event after being pictured in a hospital gown.
The BBC Morning Live host posted to his Instagram story that he sadly could not take part in the epic sport event, Hyrox, which is taking place in Cardiff's Principality Stadium this weekend. The image showed the presenter in a hospital gown, a thumb down and a seemingly disappointed face.
He wrote: "No Hyrox for me this weekend. But voice is fully fit to cheer on [Sam Dimmick] and [Tommy Burnell]". This will be the first time ever Hyrox is hosted in Wales.
The 'fitness racing' event, which is rising in popularity, will see thousands of people take part and spectate over a three-day event. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter .

The event, which is held across the globe, sees competitors run 1km before completing one fitness exercise, including 1km on a standing ski machine, 50m of sled push and 80m of burpee jumps.
They then repeat the process until they have performed eight 1km runs and all eight workouts, which also include carrying a kettlebell, as well as throws and catches of a medicine ball off a wall. You can read more about the Hyrox event here.
Not being able to participate in the high-energy event will undoubtedly come as a disappointment for Gethin Jones.
The presenter, who hails from Cardiff, is known for nearly turning professional in rugby, after previously having trials with Sale Sharks in Manchester.
Earlier this year, he joined former Olympic champion and friend, Sir Chris Hoy, as they embarked on a muddy trail in One Planet Adventure in Denbighshire.
And the presenter also embarked on the gruelling charity challenge, Wheely Big Challenge, which saw him rollerblade for 24 hours alongside his Morning Live host, Helen Skelton, for Red Nose Day in March.
