Mollie King undergoes operation for mystery health issue
Mollie King has revealed she is recovering from a recent operation.
The Saturdays singer and radio DJ revealed that she has been away from her BBC Radio 1 show for a few weeks because she needed to have surgery for an undisclosed health issue.
The 38-year-old also announced that she will be returning to the airwaves in September once she's recovered.
"Hi everyone! Long time, no post!" Mollie wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. "I just wanted to say a big thank you to those of you who've sent such lovely messages over the past few weeks while I've been off Radio 1. It really does mean a lot."
Explaining her absence, she continued, "I had to take some time off in July for an operation but everything went well and I'm doing much better now. I'll be back on air in September and can't wait to be back with you!"
Mollie, who declined to share details of her surgery or health issues, hosts the weekday afternoon slot with Matt Edmonson as well as the Wednesday night show Future Pop.
Alongside a carousel of snaps, the star added, "It feels like forever since I've been in the R1 studio... I'm even missing getting thrashed in Matt vs Mollie, so that's really saying something! На! In the meantime, here are a few photos from earlier in the summer!"
The singer's operation comes around eight months after she gave birth to her second child, Liliana, during the Christmas holidays.
Mollie and her fiancé, cricketer Stuart Broad, are also the parents of a two-year-old daughter named Annabella.
