Max George returned to screens last night in his first TV appearance since the death of his friend and The Wanted bandmate Tom Parker, but suffered an injury during his first race.

However, Max later took to Instagram to reassure fans, saying: ‘Obviously I pulled up earlier, the last few days have been a bit of a rough one. ’He explained: ‘I perforated my eardrum a couple of days ago so it’s been causing me quite a lot of dizziness. ‘I’ve been on loads of pain medications so I think I just got dehydrated but all good, I’ve been rehydrated, I’m in hospital tomorrow to have it checked on and just make sure that everything’s okay, and fingers crossed that I get the nod to be able to do the swimming because that’s an event that I love. ‘Just been a rough couple of days, but there’s a lot of people asking, “Am I alright?”, I’m all good, just a bit shaken with my ear and just got dehydrated. ’He finished: ‘All love and hopefully see you tomorrow. ’The 33-year-old had pulled out of The Games’ promo events last week, after not being ‘in a good space following Tom’s death. ’ Tom died last month at the age of 33, after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in late 2020.
