00:00 Ben Shepard, 46, has been recovering from a traumatic knee injury over the past few weeks.
00:15 The Good Morning Britain star has now given a new update as he revealed how his rehab really hurts.
00:28 Posting on his Instagram earlier today, Ben shared a new video of his rehab.
00:33 The star has been posting over the past few weeks as he stimulates the muscles in his legs.
00:39 Today was no different as he shared a post with his physio Mo.
00:46 In the short clip, his knee was being stimulated by electric pads as he tried to extend it straight.
00:55 The tipping point host can be heard wincing through pain as he said,
00:59 "Back on the compex, back with Mo."
01:01 "Trying to get that stimulation in my quad, it really, really hurts."
01:09 Alongside the clip, he penned, "Trying to stimulate the quad,
01:14 and force the knee to extend straight, Mo likes to hurt me.
01:21 That final degree means I got the leg straight. Can't believe the effort just to straighten the leg."
01:27 Ben suffered a football injury a few months ago,
01:33 which led to him having to have surgery on his leg.
01:36 During a match, the broadcaster tore his meniscus, ruptured his ACL and fractured his leg.
01:49 Earlier this month, Ben explained how he had a "long, slow" road to recovery ahead.
01:54 In an Instagram post, he penned, "For those who didn't know I ruptured my ACL
02:03 and tore my meniscus in my knee playing football."
02:06 Ben then continued, "So they've repaired the ACL and the meniscus and now starts the rehab,
02:15 the very slow, long rehab."
02:18 Elsewhere, Ben returned to Good Morning Britain this week for the first time since his surgery.
02:23 Speaking about his recovery, he admitted how his wife was "struggling".
02:31 Trending he made the admission after thanking viewers for their lovely messages.
02:36 Ben said, "If it's at all possible, could you send some of that love to my wife?
02:44 Because she's the one who's really struggling."
02:47 His co-star Susannah Reid then joked, "I know, let's think of the real victim here."
