Gok Wan arrived in Manchester this evening for a charity event but has admitted he might be forced to "hobble" on stage. The TV presenter turned musician is set to DJ at the Sedulo Foundation Ball tonight (June 29) but has issued a warning to fans about his health.
He is performing at the event, which is being hosted at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester, alongside pop band Liberty X and Brit Award-winning singer Shola Ama. The ball is set to raise money for youth organisations across the region.
But while Gok is still ready to DJ the event, he sent a message to fans on Instagram admitting he was ill.
