The 55-year-old is receiving “excellent” medical attention and expected to return to work before the end of December, Wisebuddah said.
Goodier’s recovery means he is unable to record the voiceover for a television advert for Now 95 - a job he has done since Now 20 was released in 1991.
The advert will be voiced by Xtra Factor’s Matt Edmonson in his place.
