Daniel Holmes has shared a post from his hospital bed after undergoing back surgery.
The former Married At First Sight couple explained on Friday that he had a “L4-L5 hernia with nerve compression surgery” after suffering crippling pain.
'An old injury, sustained in the gym, for which I should have had surgery years ago. Instead, I did what men do best and simply said she would be right!' he wrote on Instagram.
“Over the past few months, it's gotten so bad that we can't ignore it anymore,” Jackson continued.
'I ended up in the emergency department three times because of this. To be honest, sometimes I can't even explain the pain,” he continued.

'But I'm really happy it's done, it's almost surreal to know I won't be in pain anymore, so happy.'
He concluded: 'Be careful in the gym, warm up before lifting heavy. These types of injuries in the weight room are far too common.”
Daniel fought fit in August when he stepped into the ring to fight at the Team Ellis Pretender to Contender boxing event.
