He's normally known for his chirpy nature and good sense of humour.

But Ricky Gervais was not in a laughing mood on Monday as he revealed to his fans that he is suffering from serious back pain after tweaking an existing problem.

The 60-year-old comic held a Twitter Live session in which he revealed he had been trying to tie his shoelace when his back started causing him grief.

During the live session, Ricky said: 'I'm in a bad way, went for a run at four, tied my shoe up and my back went, agony.

'Couldn't walk, took me ages, I had only made it to the end of the street.

'It's that thing when you are in agony and you can't walk but you don't want to look weird to anyone.

'I wanted to lie down and scream, "Get me a f*****g ambulance".'

Ricky then said he managed to make it back to his house where he told his long-term girlfriend Jane that he had injured his back again. 

He said: 'I made it back, laid on the floor, took some naproxen which we have always got because the last time my back went that helped me relax it.

'It gets to five and I'm still in my workout gear. 

'Jane helps me get undressed, get into the shower, then getting dressed. Even with two of us, getting dressed was a bit of a chore.'

Helping hand: Ricky also said that the pain he felt in his back was so extreme that he needed the help of his long-term partner Jane to change his clothes (pictured together in 2018)
