He straightens up and looks at his bandmates, but like the professionals they are, they all carry on as if nothing happened.
The harrowing moment happened while the star was performing on stage with JLS – and fans were desperate to know if he survived unscathed.
One person responded to the video: “Fair game to continue though, I’d need an ambulance for St John.”
Another noted: “I was there and honestly how he got up and carried on was amazing. I’d still be on the floor now.”
As one said: “Oh no, why is this everywhere!? I was there last night, I was sick when I saw this happen, I wanted to cry, he’s very happy it could have been very nasty.”
And a fourth commented: “The way he looked at his bandmates like bruh!”
Aston and his wife Sarah responded to concerned fans on Instagram last night.
Hugging her husband, Sarah wrote above their photo: “A little sore but he’s made of strong stuff.
“Still, you have to be responsible for that step!”
JLS are back on tour together ahead of Marvin’s stint in the I’m A Celeb jungle.
At one point they were the biggest boy band in the UK – until one day they announced they were splitting up.
Marvin, 38, and wife Rochelle Humes, 34, have co-presented This Morning and smashed BBC show The Hit List since 2019.
