Sat cuddling one of his beloved dogs in the video posted yesterday, Don said: "I am so sorry to have disappointed all those people who were going to come and see me in Exeter and Truro and Bath and Nottingham.

"But on Friday afternoon I was rushed to A&E. I was kept in the hospital over Saturday, Sunday and Monday and had to have drips and all the rest of it.

"But I came home last night, I'm feeling much better and going to spend the next few days quietly recuperating here at home. 

"Hopefully by the weekend, I'll be back to full fitness."
