Ben Shephard has revealed he suffered nerve damage in his leg whilst playing football – and carried on playing for a further 25 minutes.
Speaking on Thursday's episode of Good Morning Britain, the presenter, 46, opened up about the 'dramatic' moment he was injured earlier this month.
However, he didn't receive too much sympathy from his co-host Susanna Reid, 50, who was left giggling at the bulky leg brace Ben wore backstage, quipping: 'I wish I'd taken a photograph in my dressing room this morning'.

Susanna continued: 'Ben came in with quite the "get up" on his leg. It's a sort of holding device…'
Discussing his injury, Ben said: 'You may remember a few weeks ago I played in the cup final of the Arthur Dunn veterans' cup.'
'We won the cup final, but I started with two legs and ended with one.'
