First Dates star Fred Sirieix revealed he underwent major surgery and shared a selfie from his hospital bed.
The 50-year-old took to his Instagram Stories to post a video after waking up from the operation.
"Right... double knee operation was a success," he explained to his 827,000 followers. "I'm still coming around from the anesthesia but all good!"
"I'm about to have my Earl Grey tea," Fred added.
In the clip, he looked calm as he sat up on the bed while wearing a hospital gown.
He also shared a picture of his legs. Both knees were bandaged up and lathered with medicinal ointment.

Before the op, Fred had kept tight lipped about his upcoming surgery and appeared to be very active.
Early in November, Fred and Emma Willis showed off their incredibly fit bodies while filming for a show in Mexico.
Fred and Emma, 46, soaked up the sunshine in Playa Del Carmen with Emma rocking a strapless black bikini and a sheer black sarong.
Frenchman Fred looked equally as fit in a pair of red Speedo-style swim briefs and silver sunglasses.
In one of a series of many pictures, Emma was seen raising an arm up to the sky to celebrate wrapping up filming for an Amazon Prime cooking show.
Taking to Instagram, Fred offered a flavour of the show World Cook, which will be airing this weekend.
A clip showed Fred sipping out of a fruit cup while somebody yelled action, with Fred then telling Emma: "And that's how they are going to win the World Cook!"
