McFly star Tom Fletcher sought out emergency medical attention over the Easter weekend after contracting an agonising eye condition.
The star shared a snap of himself in an empty A&E waiting room as he joked that he was next to be seen.
A second snap showed Tom, 37, having returned home as he posed for a selfie with a notably sore-looking left eye.
“Home,” he wrote. “Another 6 weeks of steroid eye drops here we go”.
The dad-of-three later issued an update and said he’d “literally been asleep all day” as he informed fans he’d contracted Uveitis for a third time.
“Each time it’s wiped me out like this,” Tom added.
Tom’s thought to have been diagnosed with the condition twice last year, most recently in the run up to Christmas.
According to the NHS, symptoms of Uveitis include eye pain, redness, sensitivity to light, blurred or cloud vision, small shapes moving across your field of vision and loss of peripheral vision.
The rare condition is believed to be linked to a problem with a person’s immune system.
Tom’s not the only member of the Fletcher family to have been rushed to A&E of late as one of his sons was taken to hospital last month.
The 37 year old singer shares Buzz, eight, Buddy, seven, and Max, four, with his wife, Giovanna Fletcher.
Alongside a tired selfie of himself in a grey jumper and face mask, Tom wrote: “Classic Sunday evening spent in A&E.”
“Nothing serious at all, kid with a bruised knee,” he added.
Tom also shared a picture to his Instagram grid that showed his son smiling in an old McFly band shirt.
“When you take your kid to hospital (he’s fine, don’t worry!) without realising the tshirt he’s wearing,” he joked in the caption, with the picture amassing nearly 10k likes.
While Tom did not elaborate further on the nature of the injury, fans wished his son a speedy recovery in the comments.
Tom and wife Giovanna celebrated their ten year anniversary last year after tying the knot in 2012.
Gushing over the mother of his children in a sweet Instagram post at the time, McFly frontman Tom penned: “You know you’ve married your perfect partner when their 10th wedding anniversary gift to you is a painting of a Wookie at a disco.
“Feeling beyond lucky today that of all the humans that ever existed on this planet, I got to marry this one 10 years ago today.
“Happy anniversary @mrsgifletcher.”
Elsewhere Giovanni shared throwback snaps of their wedding and labelled it as the “best day”.
