Stone added: “We did a fantastic podcast together a few months back…. If there are any further updates on Nick I will let you all know in the live chat this coming Sunday.”
Stone shared with the Daily Mail newspaper that Moran had been persuaded to visit hospital by his girlfriend after he experienced a pain in his neck. Stone said: “Nick’s girlfriend was saying ‘You’ve got to get it checked out’ but as a bloke he said ’No I’ll put some deep heat on it’ then he went to the doctors and got sent to A&E and told, ‘We need to take you in for an emergency operation because this is life threatening.’”
Moran is now recovering at home from the surgery.
