Alongside a photo of himself, he wrote: "3 months since I've been on the the carnivore diet and I've lost over a stone and that's mostly down to sticking to the diet. There are days/weeks where Im able to train and run and it feels so good, especially when I first started, I noticed a huge improvement it was the best I had ever been and I wasn't on any medication."

Adam went on to say that he has noticed when he was "feeling good" that he had a tendency to "over do it" when it came to training. He said: "When you're in so much pain and then you get a bit of breathing space and the pain eases off a little you can't help it, it felt so good being able to run again."

The former star said that it wasn't until 6 weeks in that he had a "flare up" on one of his knees, adding that he hasn't "really been the same since". He said: "I've been struggling to walk let alone train and not long after I felt the pain travel to every joint where it's at now!"

He continued: "As much as the carnivore diet was working and am still sticking to it I just can't seem to get rid of the inflammation. And it's so frustrating because I was doing so well and really seeing the benefits. But I need help!"

Adam told fans that as a result he has decided to book a hospital appointment. He said: "So I've decided to book an appointment at the hospital (this could take a while) to see if I can try the biologics as I've heard so many good things about it!"

The actor then said that he "physically can't carry on with the pain anymore". He wrote: "It's just getting me down and we don't want that now do we? I've learnt to laugh a lot of things off but I can't hide the pain am feeling no more so thought I'd share my [journey] as I know it helps others and just by writing this down and sharing it with you has helped me."

Adam also apologised to his followers for having not been "very vocal" about his experience with arthritis lately. He told them in the recent post on Instagram: "[I'm] just struggling and trying to find my way through it, so it's hard to talk about when your in pain because you just feel so helpless."

He concluded by writing in the post: "I know I'll be fine one day and I know others are suffering a lot more and my love goes out to you, but one day we will beat this! Am trying my hardest to stay positive but In all honesty it's a challenge but I'm doing my best and I hope you do yours."
