He wrote: “Not what I thought I’d be doing this week! But I’m alive, surgery went well. did someone say Rehab? I know a lot about Rehab. Let the journey begin.”
Fellow ex-rugby professional Thom Evans wrote: “Get well soon.”
Wayne Lineker joked: “You’re the prettiest I’ve ever seen you, but my friend.”
Former England captain Lawrence Dallaglio said: “Just keep talking to yourself and you’ll be fast asleep to get some rest, who’s going to deliver Noba?”
Another ex-pro, Phil Vickery, said: “Take care big man.”
A fifth follower shared, “Noooo dear!!!”
Despite his hand being in a sling, James had a big smile on his face that indicated he would soon be back to his best.
The injury happened ahead of his holiday with his estranged wife Chloe Madeley, 37, and their daughter Bodhi, two.
Chloe’s father Richard Madeley revealed the couple will soon be going to France together, calling their split a “very happy split”.
And he said he maintained a friendly relationship with his former son-in-law.

Richard told us: “Chloe is very happy, she and James are going to France together, they have a very happy divorce.
“It’s a very civilized relationship – we see James a lot, he’s in the house quite often, with or without Chloe.”
He added: “I go out for a drink with him from time to time. It’s all good.
“It’s a very civilized divorce. Co-parenting is going very well.”
James is best known for a long and successful rugby career playing as a flanker for Premiership clubs Wasps and Northampton Saints.
The outspoken star rocked the I’m Famous 2019 camp, occasionally calling his campmates “stupid” and asserting himself as the group’s alpha male. He was the fourth celeb who was voted from the jungle.
He recently started his career as a DJ, playing in Ibiza and releasing his own material.
