Paddy McGuinness has issued a health update to his fans as he recovers from a major operation.

Paddy shared a picture of him browsing on his phone, with his injured leg propped up on a pillow as he lounged on the sofa.

Lying alongside him was his pet cat, who he calls 'Millie with a willy' as he was previously unsure whether it was a male or female.

He captioned the post, as he wrote: "Resting hard with my boy/girl. For everyone who’s been in touch having the same op here’s to a speedy recovery for y’all. #kneeoprecovery #thursday #milliewithawilly #tornlateralmeniscus."

Fans were quick to wish him well as he continues to recover and were a huge fan of his 'new nurse'.

Donna said: "Hope your recovery goes well Paddy, loving nurse Millie with Willy."

Alison said: "Aaawww look at how she/he is looking after your knee!!!! True love. Animals are SO intuitive and they love unconditionally! Hope you recover well x"

Zoe said: "Get well soon Paddy, at least Millie will keep you company."

His wife, Christine McGuinness, had previously taken on a caring role as she commented on a previous post: "Nurse McGuinness at your service."
