Iwan, who took part in the BBC dance competition in 2015, praised his son's bravery and resilience.
The proud father shared a photo of Teddy with his arm in bandaged and in a sling.
But despite it all, the youngster managed to smile through the pain.
Iwan wrote: "We are so immensely proud of Teddy. He has been through so much in his life already and now a broken arm that required surgery but yet he doesn’t moan at all, just gets on with it and shows nothing but kindness and love to others.
"We can all learn so much from kids, their resilience and courage humbles me daily.
"Thank you Teddy for teaching me so much and making me want to be a better person….
"Thanks for all the kind messages of support," followed by a blue heart emoji.
Many fans raced to share their get well messages.
One wrote: "You got a proper tough little soldier on your hands there my brother wishing him a speedy recovery."
A second posted: "Little man is doing a good job. These breaks will make him stronger mentally and physically. At least u know he can cope in these moments. It’s tough for the parents watching him go through it."
A third said: "It’s a right of passage for a young dude! Tell him to remember 'chicks dig scars'."
