Taking to , Jason revealed he had been dealing with Appendicitis.

According to the NHS, Appendicitis is ”swelling and infection in your appendix (part of your bowel)” - and causes pain in the lower right side of the abdomen.

Jason captioned his post: “Appendix surgery all went well, now in recovery with my Vimto, they serve it in all Manchester hospitals.

“Bit of a scary & extremely painful 24 hours but thankful to our NHS & my incredible nurse mum who’s a godsend in a health crisis!

“My advice would be to not get Appendicitis whilst driving at 70mph on the motorway!

“Seriously though, I’m gutted that I’ve had to move the dates this weekend, and I’m sorry for the late notice to so many people in St Albans, Oxford, Lincoln, Skegness & at Kendall Calling.”

He added: “I thought I could get by on antibiotics and surgery at a later date so I could still do the shows, but was advised not to.

“Also means I can’t fly out to Portugal on Monday to join my family on holiday! Ah well, such is life.

“Thanks for all the ‘Get Well Soon’ messages.”

One fan commented: “Get fixed soon! Vimto is a fixer!”

Another added: “Glad you got sorted out!! Hope you have a speedy recovery.”

While a third chimed in: “Speedy recovery Jason, you’ll be back on that padel court in no time.”

The funnyman had been set to perform as part of his A Manford All Seasons tour in Hertfordshire on Wednesday.

Organisers confirmed that those who purchased tickets an upcoming show in October.

They took to his X account just hours before the show, writing: “We regret to inform you that tonight’s performance of A Manford All Seasonsat The Alban Arenahas been unexpectedly cancelled due to being unwell and will now be rescheduled to Mon 20th Oct 2025.

“Thank you for understanding, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

The post appeared to be shared by Jason’s team rather than himself, which sparked further concern from fans, with one writing: “Get well soon but perhaps stop burning the candle at both ends.”

A second commented: “Get well soon Jase, take it easy fella.”

“Sorry to hear this Jason. Wish you better. I was really looking forward to it,” a third said.
