Scottish TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has said she is home from hospital and recovering after undergoing preventative surgery to remove her ovaries.
The 65-year-old had keyhole surgery on Saturday to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes after a number of tests and scans.
The Glasgow-born star, who last year celebrated 40 years in television, said on Saturday she had not "been feeling all that well for a little while", which prompted her to seek medical attention.
She assured her Instagram followers that she was going to be "totally fine" and would see them "really soon".
In a follow-up post on Monday, she said she had undergone the surgery at Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot, Berkshire, and was back home to recover.
Thanking medical staff for their help, she wrote: "Huge thanks to these kind, caring, gorgeous professionals who took care of me at Heatherwood Hospital – back home now and following doctors' orders to rest up - My surgeon, Mr Ahmed Rafaat, has been so reassuring throughout, and I can’t thank the whole team enough."
A number of fellow celebrities left comments of support on her post, including Scottish cycling campion Chris Hoy and fellow TV hosts Katie Piper and Emma Willis.
Chris Hoy said: "Get well soon Lorraine", Katie Piper wrote: "Glad you are home. Rest up" and Emma Willis said: "Lots of love Lorraine."
Kelly celebrated her 40th year in television in 2024 with a special episode of her daytime ITV talk show Lorraine, which she has featured on 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 and in 1990 she began her presenting career on Good Morning Britain, before getting her own ITV show.
