He added that he's "not better, but I'm better than I was, and I've decided to go back to work on the basis that work hopefully will heal me.

"Any of you who are long-term sick or in any way convalescing, particularly at home, will know that there's a lot of frustration in it, so for me, I'm going to give it a go back at work and hopefully get better doing day to day things on a day-to-day basis."
