The host then went on to praise the hospital staff who helped him, saying: ” “The staff were fantastic, thank you very much to all the staff up at the Ulster Hospital. It was terrifying, it really was. ” Stephen took to X to share a gruesome picture of his injuries with his followers. “Today hasn’t been good,” he posted. “Massive pile of floor tiles which are not fitted yet standing up in boxes – I under estimated their weight and pulled them towards me to open a drawer they were leaning against. “They landed on my foot as I went crashing to the floor. Not a good look and my big toe is swelling!” Sending their best wishes , one fan said: “That sounds painful, hope you’re okay (and the tiles didn’t break!).”
