The star, from Liverpool, has now opened up on his surgery in a video posted to Instagram by the company Europe Surgery.

“Pain free, only took an hour. I look about 12,” he said of his eye bag surgery.

While the 48-year-old had his eyes wide open, fans could see Christopher’s fresh stiches which were visibly bloody.
His face looked incredibly swollen and fans couldn’t get over how different he looked compared to his telly days.
One fan penned: “I remember him from the X factor, kind of!?”
Another person wrote: “Omg !! You look great already so leave face alone.”
Others begged the songwriter to stay away from sunbeds, a fan said: “Please lay off the tanning beds.”
Chris blew The X-Factor judges away with his rendition of The Rose, receiving a standing ovation.
He was later chosen as their wildcard before making it through to the final and finishing in third place.
Just four years after Christopher appeared on Big Brother but was the fifth person to be booted from the house when he received the fewest votes.
