BBC Breakfast host rushed to hospital as fans send wave of support
BBC Breakfast presenter John Watson has been inundated with messages of support after he revealed he had suffered a knee injury.
The sports journalist took to his Instagram page to share that he had been hospitalised after the incident.
He shared a picture of himself lying in a hospital bed while wearing a gown, with a huge bandage on his leg as he recovered from the injury.
The TV star tore his meniscus, damaging the cartilage between the bones in his knee.
The injury tends to occur when the knee twists while a person is playing sport, and results in swelling, stiffness and pain.
