He told iFL TV: “I won’t tell you that the last couple of weeks have been particularly enjoyable. They’ve been hard – but I’m okay.
“I’m okay because I’m going to get through it, I’m going to survive, next week’s another week and it’s another problem to overcome.
“I’m not buzzing about it, it was tough obviously.
“I’d get untold questions, get untold stick online. So you can’t off the back of that say ‘I’m amazing’. I’m okay – I’m better than I was last week.”
