At the time Greg shared that he was hospitalised after having his abdominal muscles torn open.

He had been practising a move where he slid through the legs of Brendyn Hatfield and Colin Grafton when the incident happened.

Now his fiance Susie Verrill has revealed how he is doing in a story on Instagram.

She joked: "Since Greg Rutherford is the one laid up in bed I have to do things like stand out in the rain and meet tradesmen with their deliveries.

"Hadn't practised my talking-to-a-builder voice in a while so at least there's that."

This indicates that Greg has not yet been rehabilitated enough to get back on his feet after his hospitalisation.

Before he got stomach surgery he told fans: "I’ve been a bit busy and obviously just recovering from the initial injury before I have the surgery that I hadn’t actually got round to talking about it.

"Long story short, I leapt through the legs of Brendyn and Colin and managed to tear all of my abs as well as herniate.

Once doctors had stitched him up the retired Olympian added: "It was a slightly bigger op than originally hoped, but it’s all sorted.

"Surgeon's really happy with his work and I’m excited to get fit again.

"But for the next few days I’m going to be very sore and doing a lot of nothing."
