He announced he had to undergo surgery to have "a new bionic body part fitted" but didn't specify what surgery he was having.

"I crawled to the bed... I used the bed to try and stand up so that I could go to where I wanted to get, and also get back into bed, and I couldn't," he told BBC Breakfast. "I tried for about a quarter of an hour, trying all sorts of things to stand up so I could walk about." "So, unfortunately, we don't see each other as much as I'd like to. But that's how things work out sometimes," he added. It's believed that Nicholas has also stayed out of the limelight after his 20-year-old son Archie died suddenly in 2020. Archie tragically died from a brain haemorrhage caused by acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
