TV star Lorraine Kelly is set to undergo a major operation and told fans she hasn't been feeling well for some time.
Taking to social media from her hospital bed, the presenter revealed she is having her ovaries removed during "preventative" keyhole surgery.
The 65-year-old said she will undergo the procedure following recent scans and tests, reports The Daily Record.
She said: 'I've not been feeling all that well for a little while. So I had some scans and tests and I have to have my ovaries and my tubes taken out. It's purely preventative.
'It's going to be with keyhole surgery, which is incredible. I've been very well looked after, and I'll see you really soon, and I'm going to be totally fine.'
She shared the video to Instagram and thanked her surgeon Dr Raafat ahead of the operation.
Fans and celebrity friends of the TV host including Vanessa Feltz, Katie Piper and Susanna Reid sent their thoughts.
Vanessa said: "Thinking of you and sending love. Let me know if you fancy a visit. Love V xx." While Katie added: "Hope you make a speedy recovery." Susanna simply said: "Sending you all the love in the world."
It comes as Lorraine revealed her Change and Check choir had been invited to perform for King Charles at Buckingham Palace on April 30.
The daytime presenter's Change and Check campaign aims to raise awareness of breast cancer signs and symptoms, encouraging women to check their chests regularly and properly.
The initiative also encourages people to seek medical advice if they notice any changes and teaches women exactly what changes to look out for. The choir is made up of breast cancer survivors, many of whom were screened for cancer after seeing the campaign on Lorraine.
After speaking to royal correspondent Russell Myers on the show in the last week of April about the Prince and Princess of Wales' visit to the Isle of Mull, Lorraine confirmed that she also "had some exciting royal news" to share.
Lorraine said: "As you know, for the past six years, our Change and Check campaign has been highlighting the signs and the symptoms of breast cancer. And so far, over 100 women and one man have contacted us to say that they received a diagnosis, an early one, thanks to our campaign.

"Well, as you know, 26 of those women teamed up to form our Change and Check choir and they've now topped the download charts twice."
"We even got to sing at the Royal Variety Performance, which I still can't believe that actually happened. And now, King Charles and Queen Camilla have invited our choir to perform at Buckingham Palace tonight during a special reception," Lorraine continued.
"It's all about organisations who help raise awareness of cancer, and help people with cancer."

This Morning presenter Alison Hammond has spoken out after people speculated that she might be pregnant following a social media post TV personality Alison Hammond has shut down rumours that she might be expecting another child. The This Morning presenter shared her thoughts in a social media post, garnering reactions from her fans. At the age of 50, Alison, who has a 20-year-old son named Aidan Hammond from a previous relationship, took to Instagram to quash any idea that she was pregnant. The ex-Big Brother contestant and current partner to 27-year-old David Putman firmly denied pregnancy rumours in her update. Her statement read: "Lots of AI stories online about me being pregnant, I can confirm I am not having a baby as I'm not sure my 50-year-old womb could take it. However, I do think we should all dance like Meghan." Alison's post follows after Meghan Markle, aged 43, shared a joyous video dancing with Prince Harry, now 40, in anticipation of their daughter Princess Lilibet's arrival, who is four years old, back in 2021. The video was released in celebration of Lilibet's birthday just this past week. In the midst of these speculations, Alison comically mimicked Meghan, capturing herself dancing in her lounge to Baby Mama, the tune featured in Meghan's footage, thus humorously refuting the speculation regarding her own pregnancy, reports the Mirror. She further emphasised her point by sharing the clip to her Instagram Story with an overlay stating "fake news", adding in the caption for good measure: "I am not pregnant." Alison's pals and followers praised the video, with Jenni Falconer applauding: "You are just brilliant." Celebrities like Alexandra Burke and Dr Punam Krishan joined in, expressing their humour with laughing emojis. Amanda Holden, too, registered her delight with a triad of heart-eyed emojis in addition to a chuckling one. One supporter shared, " I love it." Echoing similar sentiments, another penned, "Just brilliant." A follower weighed in with, "Hysterical." Meanwhile, an individual envisioned: "You and Meghan dancing together would be the ultimate video. Make it happen, Alison." Meghan originally posted on Wednesday as a tribute to her youngest, Lilibet, on her fourth birthday. Her celebratory video depicted her dancing jubilantly beside a bed in a maternity wing, with Prince Harry by her side. Her accompanying caption read: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates... so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work, there was only one thing left to do."

Coleen and Wayne Rooney's marriage laid bare after make-or-break decision
Coleen and Wayne Rooney have had some rollercoaster times in their marriage - but as they prepare to celebrate their 12-year anniversary, a source claims they've 'never been stronger' Wayne and Coleen Rooney were photographed looking more down in the dumps than loved-up on a pre-anniversary dinner date last week – but a source tells new they couldn't be happier. The power couple tied the knot on 12 July 2008, with the priest stating that the future would have its 'pleasures and pains, its joys and sorrows'. Truer words were never spoken as the couple, both 39, have since found themselves embroiled in public cheating scandals, brushes with the law, shock job losses and, of course, the famous Wagatha Christie court battle with Rebekah Vardy. 'They've had a lot of heartbreak and troubles,' our source said. 'Wayne has put his hands up and apologised for his fair share of them but they've made it through it all – a lot of people thought they wouldn't. The Wagatha court case was another drama but it actually brought them closer together. Wayne was so supportive and that really meant a lot to Coleen. At the moment, their marriage has never been better or stronger." Over the years, the childhood sweethearts, who met on their local Croxteth estate as young teens, have remained united, if a little bruised at times. Former Manchester United ace Wayne was the trigger for most of the dramas, which started with allegations of him having a threesome behind Coleen's back when she was pregnant with their firstborn son, Kai, in 2009. He was then charged with drink-driving in 2017 after being pulled over by police with fellow party-goer Laura Simpson in the passenger seat beside him. Shortly after the arrest, Coleen took to Facebook to deliver a lengthy statement about her marriage, and declared defiantly she would be 'fine on her own' with just her children. 'But I don't want to live like that,' she continued. 'I want to try and continue our marriage and live as a family because that's what I want to do. I know my own mind and it's something I want to try and work on… Yes, it has been a s**t time.' But that wasn't the last of their so-called s**t times, as the I'm A Celebrity runner-up puts it. They found themselves at the centre of another storm recently when a video published on X led to speculation about Wayne returning to his wayward ways. The heavily-edited clip was filmed in the Devon apartment Wayne lived in during his short-lived tenure as Plymouth Argyle manager, and showed a tracksuit-clad man, believed to be Wayne, letting a woman inside the front door. However, Wayne wasn't prepared to ignore the accusations, and released a statement on Instagram defending himself against the rumours and denying any wrongdoing. Over the years, even Coleen, who shares sons Kai, 15, Klay, 12, Kit, nine, and Cass, seven, with Wayne, has admitted there were some who doubted she would – or should – get over her public heartache. In their bombshell Rooney documentary that aired in 2022, she tackled the topic of their lowest moments head on, and confessed she'd learnt to block out other people's opinions. 'When you're making those decisions you've got to focus on what you want and not other people because' she said, 'you have so many people saying different things to you. 'Oh, why is she getting back with him?' 'Obviously, I listen to the people that matter to me, my mum and dad; they've always given me a positive outlook on things.' Last year, Coleen had her own positive moment in the spotlight when she was voted into second place on I'm A Celebrity. She was reportedly one of the series' highest paid stars, and didn't disappoint during her three weeks in the jungle. Viewers loved seeing a less polished and often hilarious version of the mum-of-four, who said afterwards she'd had 'so many people coming up to me and saying that they understand my life'. Speaking on the Stick To Football podcast earlier this year, shortly after Wayne left his role as Plymouth manager, Coleen also addressed the doubts about her marriage, saying, 'People are so opinionated, but I've always thought that it's my life, so let me get on with it – it's got nothing to do with anyone else.' According to our source, the pair remain unshakeable and will continue to weather the storms that come their way. 'They've honestly been through so many ups and downs but Coleen has loved Wayne since she was 16. It's a love that can't be broken and they're really happy to be celebrating their anniversary in such a great place. 'They've got a wonderful family and, despite everything, have managed to remain in love and strong after all these years. Coleen couldn't be happier they've made it through and is now glad she always stuck with it.'
