Gogglebox star Tom Malone rushed to hospital after mystery injury
Gogglebox star Tom Malone Senior has revealed he was taken into hospital and given a rather peculiar dressing for a wound.

He wrote: "Woke up with a nappy as a dressing, was caught off guard when the nurse said she had to change my nappy ! Grateful to our NHS, top notch care Thank you, home now!"
