Good Morning Britain host Ben Shephard shared a candid update via social media in the wake of his recent “knee incident”.The presenter included a video revealing the odd recovery methods he was using in order to heal his knee, which he admitted looked like it could have come straight from the Alien film franchise.Ben, 47, shared his knee recovery videos with his 490,000 followers in a couple of videos on his Instagram story.

In the first video, Ben showed his leg kitted out with a number of muscle stimulators from a company called Compex UK. The four stimulators appeared to be stuck to his leg and attached to one another via wires, pulsating slightly as they worked their magic.

In the caption, Ben wrote: “Had a knee incident over NY so back on the @complex_uk to get the muscle firing!!!“Always looks like something out of Aliens!” he added with a flushed face emoji.The next video saw the muscle stimulators vibrating much more intensely on his leg. “Getting jiggy with it!” Ben added cheerfully in the caption.

According to Compex, their muscle stimulators are designed to optimise training and recovery, specifically being targeted towards athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
