Wayne Lineker, the 58-year-old star of Celebs Go Dating and brother of football pundit Gary Lineker, has undergone shoulder replacement surgery at a private London hospital after injuring himself on a boozy night out in Ibiza.
The nightclub owner checked into the King Edward VII's Hospital, where shoulder replacement operations start at £12,360. He shared images on Instagram of himself in his hospital bed and an X-ray showing pins in his shoulder.
Lineker revealed the injury occurred in August 2019 during a night out at Ocean and Hi clubs in Ibiza, but he has no memory of how it happened. He said: 'I woke up hungover in Ibiza one day after a big day and night and couldn't lift my arm up.'
His surgeon, Dr Wallace, was reportedly baffled, asking if Lineker had been in a car accident or fallen off a cliff. Lineker quoted the doctor's response as: 'Remarkable.'
This is the second operation Lineker has had on the shoulder, following a previous procedure to repair his bicep sockets and rotator cuff. He now faces six weeks of rehabilitation before he can return to the gym.
