Jason Manford 'off his t***' on the way to gig just days after shoulder operation

Jason Manford has warned fans about his gig this afternoon in London.

The comedian from Salford updated his Twitter followers on the journey down to the capital, saying he's still on morphine after recovering from a shoulder operation just days earlier.

He confessed he was 'off his t***' and didn't know what he would be saying for the performance.

Jason, who is on his Like Me tour, wrote: "On train done [down] to London couple of days after my shoulder op off my t*** on morphine and ready to do an afternoon gig!

"Get them Sunday papers ready, I don’t know what I’m saying!"

Fans replied to the post with well wishes, along with laughing-face emojis.

One Twitter-user with chronic pain replied to the star sympathising, but also joked about the situation.

He replied: "I've take daily doses of an opiod-based painkiller (among others) for chronic pain for a few years, now.

"Before this I used to drink a fair bit. I've been off me tits since the early 80's. Welcome to the club! Get well soon!"

On Thursday, Jason also announced that he will be hosting the Christmas Special of Live at the Apollo this year - describing the gig as an 'honour.'

The 40-year-old tweeted: "Really honoured to be asked to go back and host the Christmas special of the show that helped launch my career, ‘Live at the Apollo’.

"That was show 100 and I first recorded episode 14 in 2006! Felt a bit odd writing festive jokes in September but hope you like them."
