TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has revealed she is to undergo keyhole surgery in order to remove her ovaries.
In a post on Instagram, the 65-year-old said the operation is "all preventative" and thanked hospital staff for their care so far, having already undergone scans.
Kelly said in the post that she is "having a wee procedure".
"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," she continued.
"It's purely preventative. It's going to be with keyhole surgery, which is incredible, and I'm being very well looked after. And I'll obviously see you really soon, and I'm going to be totally fine.
"See you soon, bye."
In the post, Kelly said she felt "very lucky to be treated so well" and received messages from celebrity friends such as Loose Women star Katie Piper, Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid, and the TV presenter Julia Bradbury.
Kelly celebrated her 40th year in television in 2024 with a special episode of her daytime talk show Lorraine, which she has hosted since 2010.
She began her journalism career on the East Kilbride News, turning down a university place to study English and Russian to join the newspaper, before joining BBC Scotland as a researcher in 1983.
In 1984, she joined TV-am as an on-screen reporter covering Scottish news.
In 1990, she began her presenting career on Good Morning Britain before getting her own show.
