It was rather nice when I came in, but here I am again in special day care in Macclesfield hospital waiting to see an osteopath and hopefully getting a transfer to Salford Royal to the spinal unit." "That's the plan, but I was talking to you last time from the same cubicle and I ended up back at home at half ten at night so we shall wait and see," he added as reported in the Mirror. He then told followers he is "fine" before saying he "simply can't walk properly". "[I'm in] great pain," he added. "I can't stand on my tip toes now so, yeah, this is very comfortable but if I stand up I just fall over so there's something seriously gone wrong, so i'll keep you posted. Cheerio now!"

And a third added: "Look after yourself Charlie. You'll be back walking your dog in the Countryside soon." Earlier in the week, Charlie told followers: "Hi folks, went to physio this morning and she sent me straight to A&E, which I did. They examined me. I have an MRI scan and I'm sitting waiting for the results. "They've whisked me back in for more examinations so it's not going awfully well at the moment. Anyway, I'll keep you updated. "They put a wristband on me and all sorts of craic. I've fallen over twice, so something going wrong down there." Charlie first made his debut on the Street back in 1989 in his role as Jim, the patriarch of the McDonald family. He remained in the ITV role for over a decade before making his exit in 2000, 11 years on. He made an on-and-off appearance in Corrie before his last appearance back in 2018. Reflecting back in his memoir, which he published last year, Charlie recalled "hating every minute" of working on the set, prior to his exit. The star went into detail about how he wanted to leave the long-running show a year before he finally did. Since leaving the soap, Charlie has blasted the programme, insisting that it won't be around in 10 years time. "I don't watch it. It's a different animal now. It's issue driven now as opposed to when I was there in the 90s, it was character driven. It's issue driven now, there's a degree of wokery involved, there's a degree of political correctness involved and also there are subjects that need to be touched upon, whereas in my day it was character driven," he said. "I don't think Corrie will be around in 10 years time. I don't think it's going to be having a 94th birthday because television is fundamentally different. I also think EastEnders days are numbered and Emmerdale Farm's days are numbered because of the ratings."
