Nicole has been relatively quiet on social media in recent weeks, however last month she updated fans on her health after she was spotted out wearing a moon boot. The Lion actress left fans worried she assured her followers she was on the mend, posting a message about her recovery from a broken ankle online.

“Thank you for all the well wishes and love,” she wrote. Adding jokingly: “I’m back on the right track … and almost back on the right foot.”

Keith revealed how his wife sustained the injury during an interview with The Project in May. During the chat the singer said it was simply a small accident and that his wife had been “running around the neighbourhood, as she does, and didn’t see a pot-hole”.
