Lorraine Kelly had preventative keyhole surgery
As mentioned above, Lorraine Kelly posted a video on her Instagram on Saturday, May 3, telling her followers that she was having keyhole surgery after ‘not feeling all that well for a little while’. This led Kelly to seek medical attention.
Following several scans and tests, she was advised to have keyhole surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes. The 65-year-old assured her fans that this was ‘purely preventative’ and that she would be ‘totally fine’.
It's purely preventative. It's going to be with keyhole surgery, which is incredible. I'm being very well looked after, and I'll obviously see you really soon, and I'm gonna be totally fine.
Naturally, fellow TV stars, including Holly Willoughby, who's company is facing debt, Dr Amir Khan, and Vanessa Feltz, commented on Lorraine’s post and sent their love.
They wrote respectively:
Sending you lots of love and get well soon 💕
Wishing you a speedy recovery – you are the best!
