Bindi Irwin gives emotional health update after surgery
Bindi Irwin has had her appendix and "51 endometriosis lesions" removed. The 27-year-old Australian star - the daughter of late Crocodile Hunter legend Steve Irwin - has given an update amid her long battle with endometriosis following her diagnosis in 2023, which came after a decade of chronic pain. She wrote on Instagram this week alongside a smiling selfie: "13 years of fighting for answers. "51 endometriosis lesions, a chocolate cyst, and my appendix were all removed across two surgeries with @seckinmd. "My hernia from giving birth that was unzipping - was taken care of. "I can FINALLY say that I'm feeling better. Genuinely healing." Endometriosis is a disease where abnormal tissue grows outside the uterus. Irwin underwent emergency surgery in May, which meant she missed a gala honouring her father, who died in 2006. Now, she added that after her health struggles - which she's been very candid about with fans - she's finally able to "function" again. "I cannot express the gravity of my emotions as I am beginning to recognise myself again. "I felt utterly ashamed as a teenager and young adult being told that my pain was just part of being a woman. "I felt lesser. I felt hurt. I felt weak. That is not ok." The conservationist and activist - who has daughter Grace Warrior, four, with husband Chandler Powell - is keen to get rid of the "stigma" around conversations about women's health and health care. Bindi missed her late dad's annual gala in May after rupturing her appendix, and her brother Robert explained her absence at the time. He told People magazine: "She's going to be OK, but surgery - out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them. She's just come out the other side of endometriosis and now the appendix goes. Health is so important - it really is." Bindi Irwin has had her appendix and "51 endometriosis lesions" removed.

Jessie J shares emotional update after cancer battle: ‘Boobs still aren't even', ‘my perspective has changed'
Jessie J has opened up about the ongoing effects of her recent breast cancer surgery, revealing that 'everything has changed' since her diagnosis and subsequent procedures. The singer underwent a mastectomy and breast reconstruction earlier this year after being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. In her latest Instagram videos, Jessie J told followers she's been struggling with hair loss since the operations. 'My hair has been falling out like crazy since the surgery,' she said in a video shared with fans. 'Five weeks today since my surgery and I'm feeling okay.' Speaking in the video while doing her hair and makeup, Jessie J also explained her breasts remain uneven post-surgery and pointed to ongoing discomfort on her right side. 'My boobs still aren't even,' she said. 'This is the implant, it's still so sore.'Addressing her other breast gently she said, 'this one is old, oh no you aren't old She brought her audience along on her journey by also sharing a series of personal hospital photos taken during her recovery in June, 2025. She captioned the post: 'Blood warning! This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours. I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through. Grateful to my doctor/surgeon and all the nurses who cared for me and all my family/friends who came to visit,' she said.'Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!' Jessie J reflected on her emotional experience in a recent interview with the Sunday Times , saying she wished she'd had more of a chance to 'say goodbye' to her right breast before the mastectomy, describing how she 'broke down in tears' after seeing her scars: 'I can't believe this has happened.' Despite managing other health conditions, including Meniere's disease and obsessive-compulsive disorder, the pop star returned to the stage at Wembley for a major show just days before her surgery, telling the audience it was her 'last show before I go beat breast cancer.' Jessie J, who's been a fixture on the charts for over a decade, said her new single 'No Secrets' reflects on the impact of personal struggles, loss, and fame. She's now focused on balancing her health, family, and career as she navigates this new chapter. 'I'm just trying to figure out what the next six months is going to look like,' she said. 'I know that it has to change and I can't do everything that I was supposed to be doing but I just want to be able to make it work as best I can for everybody. Me. Sky. My fans. My perspective on everything has changed so much.'
