Harry Judd found himself in the hospital on Tuesday following a mishap in the garden that left him needing emergency stitches for a finger injury.

The 40-year-old McFly drummer posted a picture from the A&E waiting room, alongside an image of his stitched-up finger, humorously advising fans about the importance of wearing gloves while gardening.

He commented, “Time to start using gloves when gardening. Currently in A&E. Don’t worry, my drumming won’t be affected!”

Harry also expressed gratitude towards the NHS for their care, admitting that he almost fainted from the large needle used during the procedure, writing, “Stitches in. Thanks @nhsenglandldn. Almost passed out from the massive needle.”

This news follows an update from Harry’s wife, Izzy, who recently opened up about the challenges they face as their child has been identified as neurodivergent.

Izzy and Harry are parents to daughter Lola, nine, and sons Kit, seven, and Lockie, four, though Izzy did not specify which child had received the diagnosis.

Taking to Instagram last year, the author explained to followers how she and Harry had been ‘learning how to parent’ their neurodivergent child for the past few years, describing the process as ‘overwhelming’ and ‘all-consuming’. 

Neurodivergent is a term that describes people whose brains function differently, encompassing conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.

Izzy, who previously hosted a fertility podcast amid her own IVF struggles, set out to launch a new show in a bid to help parents like herself.

She said: ‘I wanted to share something with you that I have not talked about on here. So for the last few years, I have been learning how to parent a neurodivergent child.’

‘It has been all-consuming, incredibly challenging, I’ve felt very overwhelmed and like I’ve been thrown into a world where I have no qualifications.

‘And there is very little support, I just have this desire to talk about it, and it’s pretty similar to how I felt when I recorded Let’s Talk Fertility all those years ago’.

‘And however scary it was to open up about our personal struggles, I soon realised I was far from alone. 

‘So I have decided to continue the Let’s Talk series with Let’s Talk Neurodivergent Kids, which is a podcast where I will be speaking to experts and parents.’

It comes after Harry’s wife, Izzy, revealed their child is ‘neurodivergent’ as she candidly opened up about navigating the ‘incredibly challenging’ situation

She captioned the post: ‘I wanted to share something with you that I haven’t talked about on here. It’s a personal and challenging subject and one that feels daunting to open up about.

‘However, I really feel that awareness, education and kindness is needed for our brilliant neurodivergent kids. 

‘I felt pretty nervous to share our fertility struggles all those years ago but after releasing the podcast Let’s Talk Fertility, I soon realised I was far from alone’.

‘So I’ve decided to continue the series with Let’s Talk Neurodivergent Kids, launching on the 28th April.

‘I really hope it will provide a community and a safe space for anyone else experiencing the complexities of raising neurodivergence.

‘I can’t wait to share more about the episodes with you soon. In the meantime do come and follow me over at @letstalkndkids Love Izzy.’
