But after a brief recovery period, Lorraine was back on our screens this morning.
The telly host assured fans her recovery was going smoothly.
She said: "It was keyhole surgery to get rid of my ovaries and fallopian tubes. Keyhole is amazing. I've got three new holes in my body, all healing beautifully."
Lorraine also explained how she first discovered the issue.
She revealed: "Back in January I was coming back from India, and on the flight I had terrible, terrible pain, and it was a cyst that had burst, an ovarian cyst that had burst."
After a scan, doctors clocked that one of her ovaries looked "a bit dodgy" and recommended they were removed as a precaution.
The presenter spent a night at Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot, Berkshire.
She said: "When I went home, Steve (her husband) had to do everything. I'm not allowed to hoover, I'm not allowed to lift anything."
But despite the pain, she enjoyed her time off, spending time with her new granddaughter Billie.
She said: "But, you know, there's (Billie) the best medicine in the world, that is the best medicine. Even though I can't lift her, I can cuddle her."

She added: "Pathology came back, everything is fine, everything is OK, nothing sinister at all. That's very reassuring. It's preventative and it means it's one less worry.
"So for me it was, it was actually an amazing thing to do and the right thing to do. And then, I would just say to anybody, if you're worried, I mean, make sure that you go and get yourself checked out.
"I'm really glad to be back, because I missed you all."

Scots castle is transformed into ancient Greek palace for new blockbuster movie
It is being transformed to look like ancient Greek with some of the biggest stars on the planet linked to the project. Work has begun on the Banffshire coast for the big screen epic The Odyssey - the latest and most expensive blockbuster by Oscar winning director Sir Christopher Nolan. It is believed the Oppenheimer director will use locations around Buckie and Cullen, including Findlater Castle, for the Hollywood movie. A-listers including Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson have all been linked to the project with hundreds of people expected to be involved on some days. Yesterday (Mon), a diversion at the castle, overlooking the Moray Firth, was in place with a sign warning it will be in place until July 25. A fake period building has been constructed from plywood in the fenced area overlooking the castle. The shoot will also involve scenes at the sea with replicas of ancient Greek vessels. Filming for the big screen production which is due to be released in cinemas on July 16 next year started in February in Morocco. It has also taken place in Greece and Sicily. The Odyssey is predicted be the most expensive film of Sir Christopher's career. It dramatises the journey of the ancient Greek king of Ithaca, Odysseus, back home to his wife following the Trojan War. The 54-year-old filmmaker achieved major success with the release of Oppenheimer in 2023 which went on to won him the Academy Award for best director. It is hoped that The Odyssey will have similar success with filming taking place around the world. Visit Aberdeenshire has confirmed Findlater Castle is 'inaccessible' until July 25 'as a result of a private commercial activity' in the 'immediate vicinity of the site'. The tourism body added: 'This also includes the closure of the Barnyards of Findlater car park during this period, which is regularly used for visiting the castle.' While those in Cullen say the presence of film crews in the area is becoming 'common knowledge, a spokesman for Moray Council would only say: 'The support we provide through our film liaison service is confidential.' However, one local said: 'We have been told that 500 people may be involved at its peak.' The 2016 remake of Whisky Galore, starring Eddie Izzard and Gregor Fisher, was also filmed in the area.

The Castle of Maze! King unveils grand design for the Queen Mother's former home
It was a home beloved of his grandmother who would spend hours walking around her Highland estate. And now King Charles is to add to the beauty of the Castle of Mey, in Caithness, as he bids to attract tourists with a new maze. A garden maze is being created in the grounds of the castles which is owned by the King's Foundation. The royal residence became a favourite haunt of the late Queen Mother as she visited friends in the Highlands after the death of her husband, King George VI, in 1952. The monarch developed a love of mazes as a child. The one at Castle of Mey, which will have an ornamental tower in the middle, is aimed at attracting more visitors, particularly children and teenagers, to the site. A planning application for the development has been submitted to Highland Council and the local authority is due to make a decision by August. A design statement accompanying the application reads: 'The project proposes a new maze garden and folly located within a clearing in the woodland to the south east of the castle. 'The folly and maze will form part of the visitor attraction. The construction project itself will provide training in traditional skills with the opportunity for public demonstration and interaction. 'The hedges to the maze would be made from fuchsia like some of the hedges within the walled garden. The hedges would be grown to 1.2m height. This would be above the eye level of a child but would allow an adult to see over the hedges. 'The role of the new building is to be the central focal point of a new maze within the woodland. It is ornamental and provides seating for people at the completion of their visit to the maze. 'It should appeal to all visitors to the maze including children and teenagers and it should be accessible for people with various types of impairments, such as mobility, sight, hearing and autism.' As a child, King Charles spent hours hiding and playing in a maze on the Royal Family's Sandringham estate. In recent years he has had new mazes built at Sandringham and his other Scottish residences at Balmoral and Dumfries House. Speaking at the opening of the Dumfries House maze, he said: 'I'm afraid to say I'm rather indulging in my childhood fantasy of mazes. There's nothing more enjoyable than getting lost in a maze.' The Queen Mother first saw the 16th century Castle of Mey in 1952, when she was staying nearby with Commander Clare and Lady Doris Vyner. She was still mourning her husband, King George VI, but was immediately charmed by the building, then known as Barrogill Castle, despite half its roof having been torn off in storms. She purchased the castle, along with its walled garden and 24 acres of land.. The castle was opened to the public in 2002. Along with other local tourist businesses, it has benefitted from the success of the North Coast 500 driving route, around the north coast of Scotland.

'In a few weeks, I might be able to give you more hints. 'I can even show you some photos, it was life changing and amazing. 'I'll phone you later and tell you all about it.' It comes after earlier this month Lorraine disappeared from our screens again after ditching her show amid huge cuts. The star took to Instagram on Sunday to share her exciting new project that she will be working on this week - meaning that she wouldn't be presenting her daily self-named programme. Lorraine said: 'Hi there! I'm in the land of the midnight sun. It's absolutely glorious. 'It's a project that I have wanted to do for years and years and finally it is actually happening. 'I'm heading really, really far north. 'It is going to be amazing and I will tell you all about it when I am back. 'I'm back a week tomorrow (Monday) and I will see you then. 'Wish me luck.'

Over the past year Lorraine has hit headlines after disappearing from our screens a number of times. And so much so that TWO X accounts have been made about her when she is missing from the programme. Christine Lampard, 46, and Ranvir Singh, 47, step in when she cannot present the show. Last month it was revealed that Loose Women and Lorraine have been AXED for half the year - as ITV announce a big shake up to its daytime schedule. Just last week she revealed that she's 'not done yet' as she appeared to hit back at rumours her show will be cut for good. Speaking on the Tom Kerridge on the Proper Tasty podcast: '40 years in TV last year was incredible. I got a BAFTA. "Here's a BAFTA for being alive." I thought, "Hang on a minute, I'm not done yet".'
