The star, who filmed the video shortly after his team's win, explained to his followers just how he sustained the injury.

Speaking into the camera as the doctor prepared to apply local anesthetic to his mouth, James said:  'So we just won, we just beat England in the penalties for Soccer Aid for Unicef and we've raised already £6.7 million.

'At one point we were 2-1 down, we were struggling and we got a penalty claim. We all jumped up and were like [cheers], and one of my team mates smacked me in the face and has split my lip.

'My mouth filled up with blood and all of that. It's tiny but you know darling, my face is my fortune. And the esteemed doctor here believes that I need to have a single stitch so I'm going to get some anesthetic and I'm going to get a stitch.'
