Further worry came on Thursday morning after a new announcement revealed he was having to rearrange another three shows. But hours later he took to Twitter /X to share an update on his condition as he posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed. Jason wrote: "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!" He followed it up by offering "advice" to his followers. He said: "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. "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." Followers were once again on hand to send their well wishes to the Starstruck judge. One user commented: "Oh no Jason. There'll be other holidays. Be a good patient and get plenty of rest. Take care x" Another added: "Get better soon Jason, see you in Oxford in November." His team shared an announcement on Wednesday that his shows were to be rearranged, but left fans speculating as to what had happened.
