Max George has revealed he accidentally flooded his hospital room after undergoing emergency heart surgery.

The Wanted star, 36, said he woke up ‘in about a foot of water’ as he gave fans an update on his Instagram story.

Recording himself in the hospital bed, he said: ‘Just got out of bed then, 2am it is, and my feet just went in about a foot of water.’

Explaining how it happened, Max added: ‘I left my sink on and it blocked, so I’ve got a nice new gaff. It’s pretty sound.’

Earlier this month, the TV star revealed he was spending Christmas in hospital after being forced to seek medical help after having an undiagnosed heart condition.

In a recent clip, Max begged his heart monitor to increase before it appeared to switch off as he shared a new video from his hospital bed.

Max has shared a new video of himself lying in bed while watching his heart rate hand-sized monitor move from 35 to 34 to 38 before he wagged his finger begging, ‘go up’.

The number then dropped to 37 and the star suggested he is looking for some excitement to help his heart rate increase.

He penned: ‘Come on @mancity.. Sort me out will ya?!!’

However, the device then appeared to switch itself off, leaving Max to exhale, ‘Brilliant’

It comes after Max revealed he will undergo open heart surgery to have a pacemaker fitted.

After doctors ran further tests, Max revealed he will need to fitted with the device that stops the heart from beating too slowly after they found an issue with the ‘bottom part of his heart’.

Pointing to his chest, he said: ‘So latest is that 100 per cent I’m going to have a little friend put in here at some point.

‘Erm, I’ve got an issue with the bottom part of my heart, it’s called a block. The tricky bit is what I have put in because until I have further tests we don’t know what caused it.’

The Glad You Came hitmaker noted it is all a ‘mystery’ what has happened to him, although doctors have been able to eliminate some possible causes.

Max, who has battled alcoholism previously, said: ‘We’ve cancelled out a few things, like alcohol for example I’ve not had a drink for four-and-a-half years so it’s not that.

‘It’s a bit of a mystery really, but that’s the hard bit. It’s the waiting. My heart rate is really, really low. They’re monitoring it 24/7, everyone has been amazing.

‘But the waiting bit is tough. It’s just one of them things unfortunately. Whatever I get, I’ve got to get on with it. We’re hoping pacemaker, a pacemaker is good.’

In another recent clip from his well-documented hospital chronicles – the singer shared he had had a ‘rough day’ in hospital.

He said: ‘I’ve had a bit of a rough day today.

‘My heart rate dropped this morning, which was a little bit scary. But everyone here’s amazing and they managed to get it back up a little bit and get it stable again, which is great.

‘A lot of friends and family are asking why I’m not just going in and having anything done yet, but there’s so many tests that need to be done before we do anything.’

WHAT IS A PACEMAKER?

A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device that prevents the heart from beating too slowly.

Surgery is needed to install it and the operation is generally carried out under local anaesthetic

Around 50,000 people are fitted with a pacemaker every year in the UK, according to the British Heart Foundation

‘I just need to get through to next week and have all the tests done, then they’ll know exactly what to do.’

Max concluded his message by noting he is determined to stay positive amid the ordeal.

He said: ‘Obviously they’ll be able to do something but it’ll be better doing it with all the information they need. But year, it’s s**** But still here and staying positive.’
