Lorraine Kelly has revealed that she is in hospital ahead of undergoing keyhole surgery.Â
The presenter, 65, shared a video to Instagram from her hospital bed and was dressed in a hospital gown as she gave fans an update.
Lorraine shared with the camera that she was scheduled for a minor procedure that day. She explained that she had been feeling unwell for some time, prompting her to undergo scans and tests. The results indicated a need for the removal of her ovaries and tubes.
Surgery to remove a woman’s ovaries and Fallopian tubes is typically done to prevent them from contracting ovarian cancer.
In a bid to reassure her supporters, Lorraine mentioned that she was receiving excellent care. She expressed gratitude for the upcoming keyhole surgery procedure, highlighting the quality of care she was receiving. Lorraine assured her audience that she would be back soon and that she was expected to make a full recovery.
In her caption, Lorraine reiterated that the surgery she was undergoing was purely a preemptive measure. She expressed appreciation for the treatment she was receiving, acknowledging Dr. Raafat and the entire medical team for their care and support.
It comes after Lorraine left viewers of the ITV morning shows a little concerned after appearing on various programmes with a ‘puffy’ appearance.
During Lorraine’s appearance on Good Morning Britain many fans shared their worry on social media.
She later appeared on Loose Women and revealed exactly what had happened to her – that she had fallen over a rhino ornament while putting the washing out at home and given herself a black eye.
On Good Morning Britain on Monday, Susanna Reid asked: ‘How’s your eye by the way?’
Lorraine said: ‘You can see Helen has covered it up. Our fantastic make-up artist. Helen Hand the magician.
‘It’s still quite bad but the swelling as gone down.’
Susanna replied: ‘Last week when we saw you, you looked very weepy.’ Lorraine agreed: ‘Yes, swollen.’
Just moments before Ed was left lost for words when Lorraine said a bit of a crude word.
The host was talking about the new drama Towards Zero when she said: ‘It’s called sh*gatha Christie apparently.’
A shocked Susanna replied: ‘I beg your pardon?!’
And Lorraine asked: ‘Am I allowed to say that? I’ve said it…’
Ed sternly shot back: ‘No.’
A sheepish Lorraine said: ”Anyway… I apologise for apologising. I’ll apologise again to myself.’
Lorraine later spoke about her black eye on Monday’s episode of Lorraine.
‘I had lots of things in my hands, lots of washing in my hand and then wham ! Fell!’
Dr Hilary Jones replied: ‘Well you can’t see it now?’
‘That’s because Helen has covered it up!,’ Lorraine told him.
They then shared a video of where the accident happened in her home on the show.
Dr Hilary then gave viewers tips on what to do if they find themselves in the same situation and how to improve bruises.
Lorraine later revealed the truth behind her swollen face live on Loose Women on Thursday after being asked ‘if she’d had fillers.
‘So I had a massive bag of washing, like a washing basket, I couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room, and there was a wee step.
‘My slippers are too big and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!’
She continued: ‘I thought “Oh it will be fine!” but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner, this big black eye!’
Lorraine explained that lots of ‘lovely’ viewers asked if she had allergies, but confirmed that this was not the case.
She also addressed speculation around her having facial injectables, adding: ‘Have I had fillers? No!’
But before they got into the chat, Lorraine also wanted to address the speculation about her face, after many of those watching at home had got in touch with her to share their worry.
Lorraine explained: ‘Yesterday, you know as woman, when we try to do too many things at one time, and we try to do it really fast…
‘So I had a massive bag of washing, like a washing basket, I couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room, and there was a wee step.’
