The star, who has been a part of the ITV programme since 1998, had an operation to fix an ACL injury months before breaking up with his co-star girlfriend Tish Merry.
The pair met in 2014 and started dating years later when she left her role as Steph Britton.
The ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament, is a part of the body that crosses the middle of the knee and connects the thighbone to the shinbone.
This can be injured in a number of ways but usually happens when a person suddenly stops when out running and cycling.
