A popular star from the show Gogglebox recently shared a concerning photo from his hospital stay. Fans were worried after Tom Malone Senior posted a picture of his shoulder injury, which looked quite gruesome. In the photo, he can be seen in a hospital room with his arm bandaged up and supported by a sling. However, despite the alarming image, he managed to make light of the situation in the caption. He wrote, "Woke up with a nappy as a dressing, caught off guard when the nurse said she had to change it!" He also expressed his gratitude towards the NHS for their top-notch care and announced that he was now back home.
Tom did not go into further detail about how he sustained the injury or the duration of his hospital stay. This prompted fans and friends to flood the comments section with well wishes. His Gogglebox co-stars, Dave and Shirley, also sent their love, saying, "Get well soon mate, love Dave and Shirley xx." Tom's wife, Julie, also responded, thanking everyone for their kind words and revealing that Tom was on painkillers.
Tom took to Instagram to update his fans about his condition, and it was clear that he was in the company of his loved ones. He stars on Gogglebox with his wife Julie and son Shaun, making them a beloved family on the show. Fans were quick to show their support, with one commenting, "Oh no! Hope you are okay? Glad you are home now. Looking forward to seeing you all back on Gogglebox. Wishing you a good recovery!" Another follower added, "Wishing you a speedy recovery, Tom xx."
However, one person, Louise, was curious about the nappy that was used as a bandage on Tom's shoulder. She wrote, "Nappy? I have never known a non-sterile dressing to be used for wound care in a hospital. How strange. I see that you were marked for surgery, so I am guessing you had a shoulder replacement, unless it was an emergency. I was a surgical nurse for years, and I am totally baffled by the nappy!" Tom clarified by explaining that it was not a shoulder replacement, but nappies are useful for wound leakage.
The Malone family has been a fan-favorite since they first appeared on Gogglebox in 2014. Dad Tom Senior and mom Julie are often joined by three of their kids, Vanessa, Tom Jr, and Shaun. However, Tom Jr decided to leave the show in February 2021 after six years. During an episode of Gogglebox in 2022, Tom Sr revealed that he had injured his arm and wore a blue cast during filming. He joked to his wife Julie, "I have to rest this a bit now. I can't be doing any housework or heavy lifting. They said that to me. Definitely no housework, just rest my arm."
Julie teased him by saying, "Didn't you tell her that you get looked after anyway, regardless of your arm? You get cups of coffee whenever you want, and your meals are brought in on a tray." According to The Mirror, Tom joked that he was an "injured puppy" and claimed he needed to be taken care of. He added that he would just sit and watch TV. Julie laughed and said that his behavior would not be any different from usual. Tom then revealed that the doctors had advised him to make "lifestyle changes." Gogglebox is available to watch on Channel 4.
