“I’ll watch Christmas films all day and eat Haribo.”
John is yet to confirm whether he is attending training today.
It comes after the star was seen to by a physiotherapist over the weekend.
John explained that his physio, Jen, had been called in to help with his “knackered hips”.
He wrote online: “This gal @jen_nash_ performed SO MUCH physio on me over the weekend because all those lunges and lifting Jo has knackered my hips. THANK YOU, JEN.”
Jen quickly replied to his thanks, saying: “You are SO welcome @john_whaite. You smashed it. Good luck this week!”
