Kelsey captioned the post: "These two crack me up. They love the new chair."
The Bolton lad had been in a private hospital in a bid to get fit for his band’s reunion tour which started at the beginning on March.

Over the past year Tom has kept his fans up to date with his health.
Before the tour kick started on March 3, Tom told his fans on Instagram: "So, as most of you know, I’ve been out in Spain on a treatment programme for the past couple of weeks.
";It was only meant to last 20 days but due to a couple of logistical changes with tests and results it won’t be complete until the end of the week now which has delayed our journey home.
"I’m obviously gutted that I’ll be missing the first few shows but as I’m sure you will understand, I have to complete my treatment cycle.
";I’ve been zooming into rehearsals all week and I know that the show will be incredible and that my boys will hold the fort until I’m back.
"Can’t wait to see you all very soon, hope you all enjoy the show."
Tom revealed in October 2020 that he had an inoperable stage 4 glioblastoma — which doctors described as “the worst case scenario”.
He was told he was likely to have only 12 to 18 months to live.
However, after six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions, Tom revealed his revealed his inoperable brain tumour is "under control" in October 2021.
