He posted on his social media platform, while posing in a pool wearing goggles and a swim cap. The TV star said: "I’m learning how to swim in my twenties for @thegamestv.

Christine commented below the image. She said: "I am so proud of you." Will thanked her for the support, as he replied: "You’ve been supporting my journey since the start - thank you Christine."
She also went on to share the post to her Instagram Stories along with a touching message. She wrote: "I am so unbelievably proud of this @will_njo."
Christine added: "We are both only just learning to swim as adults. But whilst I had just never really swam before, @will_njo actually had a fear of swimming! Now look at that smile. #It'sNeverTooLate."
