get_the_excerpt not working in header (3 posts)

    I am using the code below to add FB Open Graph Meta Tags. It all works apart from the description, which returns a blank string from the 'get_the_excerpt()'.

    Has anyone come across this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    I should have said, I've tried with both get_the_excerpt($post->ID) and get_the_excerpt()

    //Lets add Open Graph Meta Info
    function insert_fb_in_head() {
    	global $post;
    	if ( !is_singular()) //if it is not a post or a page
    		return;
    	echo '<meta property="og:description" content="' .get_the_excerpt($post->ID). '"/>';
    }
    add_action( 'wp_head', 'insert_fb_in_head', 5 );
