McFly's Tom Fletcher shares images after being rushed to A&E

Tom Fletcher has revealed he spent the Easter break in hospital after suffering a painful eye emergency.

The McFly singer, 37, shared a handful of images of himself in the hospital documenting his injury and health.

On Easter Sunday, he shared a snap of his eye visibly swollen as he waited for the doctor. After he was seen to, he addressed fans and any worries they may have had.

He said: "Home. Another 6 weeks of steroid eye drops here we go." Yesterday, he revealed this is now the third time he has had uveitis - a condition that causes eye pain and changes to your vision, and requires early treatment to avoid risk of glaucoma or cataracts.

According to the NHS, uveitis is inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea or uveal tract. It can cause eye pain, redness and vision changes, including blurry or cloudy sight.

In December last year, Tom shared details of another trip to the hospital with his fans on Instagram. He said: "Sorry I’ve been quiet for a bit. I was wiped out with some sort of illness and in bed for a few days.

"I just got back on my feet yesterday and uveitis decided to kick me down again," he added with an eye emoji.

The All About You hitmaker went on to thank the NHS staff who helped him out at A&E, adding: "Very grateful to have a dedicated eye A&E hospital in London! It’s the 2nd time I’ve stumbled into that place holding my eyes and they’ve been amazing.

"For now, it’s dark rooms, sunglasses and 6 weeks of steroids. Merry Christmas! Also, shout out to my amazing optician, Dipesh at @parkerandhammond who was giving me advice at nearly midnight last night. Hero!"

Last month, Tom was forced to rush one of his three children to A&E after they suffered a nasty accident at home, the Mirror reported.

Tom, who shares his three sons with wife Giovanna Fletcher, shared a masked-up selfie on his Instagram Stories in the hospital ward in March with a caption that said: "Classic Sunday evening spent in A&E".

But he quickly reassured everyone as he added: "Nothing serious at all, kid with a bruised knee".

Tom, who has boys Buzz, eight, Buddy, seven, and Max, four, didn't tell his followers which of his children had got themselves into a spot of bother.
