Duncan James has had a few problems whilst filming his Hollyoaks debut; after suffering from an accident and becoming paralysed, he has now recovered and has begun filming for the show.

The Blue singer explained what exactly happened during his accident to Loose Women today: "I woke up one day and I couldn't feel my leg.

"I went in and they said my disc had prolapsed and they told me I had 24 hours before I would be paralysed."

Thankfully, Duncan has since confirmed his recovery and is being supported by his friends, family and the members from his band Blue.

But now Closer's Dad of the Year has opened up about his love life and admitted that he uses the dating app Tinder to find a date.

Talking to the Loose Women panel he said: "Yes. I have been on Tinder before."

He even confessed that he got his mum on Tinder, saying: "We've sat there together at home, swiping left because you don't really find any swipe rights do you really?"

He then joked: "But we've had it with a bottle of wine and then in the morning you realise you have swiped a few rights.

"Don't do Tinder when you've had a drink. It gets you into trouble!"
