It came after she candidly opened up on using fat jabs next step Amy Schumer stuns fans as she uses a walker after surfing accident and secret spinal surgery AMY Schumer has left fans stunned after capturing herself using a walker.

Amy flashed a wry smile as she clutched onto the handles of the support device. She told her followers: "Since my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me. "Today I got a laminectomy! "It's a short recovery and when I'm feeling better I will buy a bra!" She then added she had suffered a horse riding injury prior to surgery and said: "I took a deep breath and got my 44 year old, bad backed a** right back up on that horse and rode and trotted and it sent a message to those (riding students) and myself." The NHS stays of the procedure: "Lumbar decompression surgery is a type of surgery used to treat compressed nerves in the lower (lumbar) spine. "It's only recommended when non-surgical treatments haven't helped. "The surgery aims to improve symptoms such as persistent pain and numbness in the legs caused by pressure on the nerves in the spine." Amy Schumer reveals trolling over her 'moon face' led to Cushing Syndrome diagnosis Amy suffered her surfing injury in high school. CHANGING FIGURE Amy recently revealed she has been taking weight loss jab Mounjaro. Showing off her svelte figure while on a yacht, Amy looked amazing in the black and white swimsuit number. With her blond locks pulled back into an up-do, Amy posed beneath the sunshine as she looked out to the ocean. In March, the Trainwreck star revealed she was taking Mounjaro in an Instagram video. In the video she shared, she noted how the drug is not covered by insurance unless a patient has diabetes or severe obesity. "Which most of the internet thinks I have," she joked. "But I'm having a really good experience with it, and I wanted to keep it real with you about that." Amy previously confessed to having taken Ozempic and having a "horrible experience" with it. Speaking on The Howard Stern show, she said: "I have this gene, GDF15, which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. "So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was, like, veteran. "I was, like, vomiting — and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they're all good. God bless them." She explained how she "lost 30 pounds so quick" but noted how the nausea she experienced was awful. Last year, the actress and director revealed she had been diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome, which was caused by having steroid injections in high doses. The star, who has now "got rid" of the syndrome, first announced news of her diagnosis in early 2024 in the News Not Noise Substack newsletter. 5 She has spoken openly about using fat jabs Credit: Getty

The pair said they would remain 'united as loving parents' to their two young sons and that there was no third party involved. They moved back to the UK from LA in 2020 to start a new life with their two children. But for almost two years, Patrick has been spending most of his time hosting The Late Late Show in Dublin while his wife has been presenting ITV's This Morning in London with Ben Shephard. Cat and Patrick first met while filming Fame Academy in the early 2000s. The pair waited 10 years before turning their relationship romantic, beginning to date in 2011 before getting married in 2012. Patrick, who uses Instagram less frequently than Cat, hasn't posted about her since she first got her job on This Morning back in June 2024. Speculation about their relationship emerged earlier this year when Cat was absent from Patrick's mother Mary's funeral in February.

Little Mix star Perrie Edwards is set to show off natural beauty after signing huge 6-figure deal with cosmetics giant
Perrie teased new solo music this week to her 18.8million Instagram followers with a montage of footage PERRIE NICE! Little Mix star Perrie Edwards is set to show off natural beauty after signing huge 6-figure deal with cosmetics giant SHE has always loved experimenting with her image and has debuted some dramatic looks over the years. But I have heard that Little Mix star Perrie Edwards is set to show off her natural beauty after landing a lucrative deal with beauty giant L'Oreal. The Black Magic hitmaker has secured an agreement, understood to be worth £300,000, with its skincare brand CeraVe, which prides itself on working with dermatologists and developing products for sensitive skin. A source said: 'Perrie wants to show that taking care of your skin can be affordable and people don't need to break the bank with fancy creams. 'She has always loved testing different make- up looks, but knows that taking care of her skin is a priority. Perrie will also be able to show off her edgy side with the advert.' The singer, who has a three-year-old son, Axel, with former Premier League footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, told Fabulous magazine in 2018: 'I have very sensitive skin, and I used to use loads of products on my face because I thought that was best.' She added: 'The worst thing I used to do was go out partying and drinking and just sleep with my make-up on. 'You think, 'Oh it's only one night, I'm too tired, I really can't be bothered to take all my make-up off'. 'But it only takes one night for a week's worth of acne, so you have to be strict with it.' It comes as Perrie teased new solo music this week to her 18.8million Instagram followers with a montage of footage. She reacted with a raindrop emoji to a fan who commented: 'The drought is over!! So happy and excited for you.' Pop star Perrie last released music in February, with her single Rollercoaster, about the ups and downs that come with love. With this skincare deal and new music on the horizon, little wonder Perrie has such an unblemished career . . .

'I think I got very, very lucky being able to play a lead, which I've been playing for two decades now.' Emilia who is working with My Pension Expert, to encourage people turning 50 to take control of their future, said she is encouraging her teenage daughter Rose to save money. She said: 'She puts away a few pounds every week so that she will see, hopefully, a benefit in the future to saving every week. 'I hope that will be the example she then grows up with.

A source said: 'Ekin's worked really hard since winning Love Island with ad campaigns and a steady stream of telly appearances. 'She has snapped up this home and chose somewhere more modest so she could be closer to her parents, who she spends a lot of time with. 'She's looking forward to getting stuck in and fixing it up to her perfect style. She's really proud of everything she's achieved and ready to lay down roots.' Since appearing on Love Island: All Stars in January, Ekin split with Curtis, with the star calling it 'unfortunate' – but she has been concentrating on her career instead, with a focus on acting.

When asked what she makes of him singing the hit 1996 song Don't Look Back In Anger, referencing 'Sally', he said: 'She's cool about it.'
