He found himself rushed to hospital after hurting his back and remained in hospital for a few days.
Two months on, he has shared the dramatic the details exclusively with The Sun Online.
“I had two slipped discs. I actually went into This Morning and I reached to get some sunglasses, very, very macho, into the back of the car,” he said.
“And then I literally took five steps and I couldn’t get past the front door, really. Had to get rolled on in a wheelchair onto the set to do my item because I said that I definitely wanted to do it.
“But by the time I got home, I couldn’t stand. I couldn’t stand or sit.”
He continued: “So I had to crawl in and out of my car and then in the end it just was so bad.
“I went to A&E and then was admitted to hospital for five days. And, yeah, so two MRIs later and lots of medication.
“Thankfully, I didn’t need surgery. Now it’s sort of, you know, exercise and to sort of get myself right. But, yeah, it was a big wake up call.”
Scott badly injured his back just days after celebrating his 49th birthday.
The last time he was in hospital he praised the medics for swiftly coming to his aid.
He was also allowed visits from his dog Mango while in hospital.
Scott moved to the UK after finding fame on Aussie TV’s hit show, Animal Hospital.
As well as being This Morning’s resident vet, he runs three small animal practices in South-west London.
