Speaking to the camera while on a walk, Martin explained that he was feeling grateful to be out and about. "I've come out for a walk to my favourite place in the world, to a waterfall near where I live. It's the first time I've ventured out since I got home. It's taken me three times as long as it normally would to get here. You can't help but think 'I'm really lucky to see this' because I might not have seen it again.

At the time Martin updated his fans from his hospital bed, explaining: "Bit of good news, bit of bad news. I ended up in hospital. I've been having quite a few chest pains and feeling generally lousy, so I was brought in, turns out I had a massive amount of fluid all around my heart which was stopping my heart working.
