He told People Magazine: "It got worse, I broke my cheek, then my hand, then my shoulder, had a replacement shoulder put in and broke my (right) arm, then I broke my elbow.

George and Ali met after being set up on a blind date

George and Ali's night out follows on from a busy year for the couple, who have both been juggling various work projects.

When they aren't busy at work, they enjoy nothing more than spending time with their daughters, Elliott and Harper.

Elliott left home last year to attend university and Harper will be leaving next year, which will see them become empty nesters.

The celebrity couple share two daughters 

The family are incredibly close and Ali previously gave an insight into their home life. Chatting to Harry Connick Jr, she said: "I have two girls. George is the only guy in the house. For some reason, he gets beat up constantly. He is always wrong. He is an idiot. He is a loser, but in a loving way."

Ali and George have been married for 20 years and will be celebrating their wedding anniversary in November. The couple met after being set up on a blind date by mutual friends and it didn't take long for them to get engaged after their whirlwind romance.
