JLS star Aston Merrygold was been rushed to hospital in the back of an ambulance on Friday. 

The singer, 37, took to his Instagram Stories as he shared candid snaps of his journey to A&E while strapped to a stretcher and hooked up to an IV drip. 

Aston, who did not reveal the cause for his hospitalisation, put on a brave face as he flashed a smile and gave a thumbs up for the camera. 

The hitmaker captioned the post: ‘It’s been an interesting 13hrs’.

MailOnline have contacted Aston’s representatives for comment. 

Aston’s rush to hospital come fresh off JLS’ surprise performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball and the release of Disney Pixar’s new movie Elio, in which he made his voice-acting debut.

Aptly playing a character called Aston he stares in the movie alongside Hollywood royalty, Zoe Saldaña, 46.

Of his foray into acting, the singer, who shares Grayson, seven, Macaulay, four and Riley, one, with wife Sarah,  said: ‘I’m so excited and beyond honoured to join the voice cast for the all-new original film from the iconic Animation Studio.

‘I mean who isn’s a Pixar fan? It means everything to me that my kids will be able to hear their Dad’s voice on the big screen!’.
