Fans were quick to send their love and support. Moira Rooney wrote: "Hope all is well with you," while Kate Moriarty added: "Sending lots of love to you and your family."

Just last week, he told his fans about having to make another trip to- the hospital. Giving fans an update on social media, he wrote: "I had a fever and acute stabbing pain in my right hand side. "Turns out I probably had an infection and other issues which I won’t bore you with.

"Been on drips, regular bloods taken and have observations every 4 hours through day and night."

Jonnie has since confirmed that he was discharged from hospital and is back home with his wife Jessica Holmes and sons Rex, four, and three-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.
