Olly, who was runner-up in The X Factor in 2009, has spoken out about the time he was taken to hospital last year.
Speaking to his Instagram followers, Olly explained: “When I had the operation, my left leg had to be straightened and they put a plate in.
“After three months the plate got infected so then I had to get rushed back into hospital, they thought it was sepsis.”
The singer added: “They had to open me up again in case the infection spread.

“So it got nasty,” the You Don’t Know Love singer recalled.
He also admitted how he needed to have the operation to carry on with touring across the country.
Olly continued: “It was so important for me to get my leg done because there wouldn’t be shows.
“Obviously with this knee I’m not being able to perform on stage to my best ability for my fans,” Olly explained.
“I needed to give it a year. I need to do rehab.”
Meanwhile, the Witham-born songwriter has previously been open with his fans about how he didn’t feel himself before his weight loss.
Olly spoke to his followers on Instagram in March about how he had gained weight while recovering from his operation and it was “doing [him] no favours”.
The ITV favourite confessed: “I was 14st 3lbs. I’m always between 12st 8lbs and 13lbs. And I’m 12st 8lbs now.
