He wrote: "Hey All, Thank you for all your well wishes! So last night I did have a little accident on stage in Glasgow, where I didn't realise the mechanical stairs had opened behind me.

"A crazy moment which could have been a lot worse but I'm completely fine, a little bit battered and bruised but ok! I'll see y'all back up there tonight. The show must go on. Thanks for all your well wishes. #ReallyFlyingWithoutWings. Love Nicky."

Posting a picture of his scraped torso, he said: "Checked by the wonderful medics at the hydro - see you all again tonight Scotland."
