Adam King’s family have asked fans for their well wishes, as the Toy Show star recovers from a femur fracture.
The six-year-old suffers from Brittle Bones, a genetic disorder that results in fragile bones that can break easily.
The Cork native, who melted the hearts of the nation on The Late Late Toy Show last year, does not require surgery but is said to be “very sore”.
Sharing the news on Adam’s Instagram account, his family wrote: “Hey everyone, So a little personal post – as you all know Adam has brittle bones and sadly he suffered a femur fracture this weekend.”
“Thankfully he does not require surgery this time. He is happy to be home but is very sore. Please keep him in your thoughts.”
