Susanna, 50, played Ben's social media video on Wednesday's show and informed viewers: 'Ben Shephard is in hospital recovering from surgery because he ruptured his ACL playing football.

Last month, Ben revealed he had suffered the horrific leg injury while playing football - but nerve damage meant he didn't feel any pain.
He said: 'Interestingly, I didn't realise I had done it quite so badly. I carried on playing for 25 minutes before I thought, 'it feels a little bit unstable, perhaps I should stop.'

Before Tuesday's surgery, Ben captured his injured limb and wrote: 'Op happens today! so far so good - arrow on the correct leg @andipeters on the tv + super stylish socks in place.' [sic]
