He wrote: “Not what I thought I’d be doing this week! But I’m alive, the Op went well. did someone say Rehab? I know a lot about Rehab. Let the journey begin.”
Fellow former rugby pro Thom Evans wrote: “Speedy Recovery bud.”
Wayne Lineker joked: “That’s the best looking I’ve seen you tbf mate.”
Ex-England captain Lawrence Dallaglio said: “Just keep talking to yourself and you’ll fall asleep in no time to get some rest, who’s delivering the Nobu?”
Another ex pro, Phil Vickery, shared: “Look after yourself big man.”
A fifth follower shared: “Noooo darling!!!”
Despite his arm being in a sling, James had a big smile on his face indicating he’ll soon be back to his physical best.
The injury comes ahead of his holiday with estranged wife Chloe Madeley, 37, and their daughter Bodhi, two.
Chloe’s father Richard Madeley revealed the pair will soon go to France together, calling their separation a “very happy uncoupling.”
And he said he’s kept a friendly relationship with his former son-in-law.
Richard told us: “Chloe is very happy, she and James are going to France together, they have a very happy uncoupling.
“It’s a very civilised relationship – we see a lot of James, he’s at the house quite a lot, either with Chloe or without.”
He added: “I go for a drink with him from time to time. It’s all good.
“It’s a very civilised divorce. The co-parenting is going really well.”
James is best known for a long and successful rugby career playing as a flanker for Premiership clubs Wasps and Northampton Saints.
The outspoken star ruffled feathers in the I’m A Celeb camp in 2019, branding his campmates “stupid” on occasion and imposing himself as the alpha male of the group. He was the fourth celeb to be voted out of the jungle.
More recently he has launched a career as a DJ, playing gigs in Ibiza and releasing his own material.
