Kieran Hayler - who has Jett, three, and Bunny, two, with the 38-year-old star - is keen to get back on the saddle after undergoing knee surgery because Katie has "always wanted a husband that can ride".

Speaking in an Instagram live video, he said: "So for those of you that don't know, I came off of Eddie just before Christmas when I was showjumping. He decided to go one way and I went the other, no idea why, he just didn't want to go over the jump but anyway, I'm about to have surgery on my knee, I'm having a kneeoscopy, which is why I haven't been doing a lot recently.

"I haven't been riding, I haven't ridden since before Christmas. So hopefully within four weeks I should be back up and moving and able to do everything that I usually do and hopefully be able to ride again because that's what I want to do. Kate's always wanted a husband that can ride and I was just getting there, just getting good and then I came off."

And the 29-year-old star also posted a message to thank fans for their well wishes and quipped he wouldn't have as many fans if it wasn't for his famous wife - who also has Harvey, 14, with her former flame Dwight Yorke and Junior, 11, and Princess, nine, with her ex-husband Peter Andre.

He shared: "Hi all, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your well wishes and good lucks for my op, I am now home and laying on the sofa with my leg up.

"It's very sore and it's a long road to recovery but hopefully I will get there and everything will be back to how it was. But I wouldn't have half the fans if it wasn't for Kate so thank you very much guys, it's nice to know that people want me to get better soon!"
