Revealing the "windy" conditions that led to his injury, Dommett posted a picture on Instagram (mid-stitches!) where he confirmed his reason for not presenting the show, adding he would be back on duty – with co-hosts Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash – tomorrow.
"To be honest I'm less worried about my health and more worried that the show will be better without me," he joked to his followers. "Half a day off school to go home and watch Neighbours."
Dommett revealed further details of his ordeal on Instagram stories, recalling how he "fainted and I woke up and Joe was kissing my face".
