He'd be better of not getting surgery. I'm glad I didn't - wouldn't fancy the metal work.
I never really liked e-bikes, however....
Nasty.

The deep irony here is that his hairdo looks like a cycle helmet.

The headline says "broken", the article says "injured".
Not a fan of his, but, hopefully, it is "injured" not "broken".

BBC and CNN saying "broken". I doubt that anyone other than Cowell and his orthapaedic surgeon know for sure.

A broken back does vary in severity mind. From a cracked vertebrae (painful but not necessarily dangerous) to multiple fractures and damaged (or worse) severed spinal cord... Id wager he has a cracked vertebrae or 2. If he has damaged his face however, he won't be seen in public until they inject more cement into it to prop it back up...

I wish him well and a speedy recovery, I met him about 10 years ago and we had a good 30 minute conversation about all sorts. I got the firm impression in that time that he was genuinely likeable and a normal (albeit very well off) guy. I think the stage persona is exactly that, he's been playing a pantomime villain part for many years because it's what people (especially ITV viewers) want, particularly in that show. Like all pantomimes and many films, those panel shows aimed at a certain mentality need a convincing villain.

I wonder if his ego was badly bruised.
