He said: “Unfortunately due to unforeseen windy circumstances blowing the set onto my head during rehearsals, I won’t be able to present Extra Camp this evening.
"I had seven stitches like a big brave boy and I’ll be back tomorrow.
"To be honest I’m less worried about my health and more worried that the show will be better without me. Half a day off school to go home and watch neighbours! Woo!”
Joel shared a selfie on his Instagram as he had his stitches.
