Announcing her surgery the day before, Lorraine told fans: ‘Just wanted to let you know I’m having a wee procedure today.

‘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.

‘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.’

She added in the caption: ‘Getting keyhole surgery – all preventative – feel very lucky to be treated so well – thank you Dr Raafat and all the staff!’

The procedure to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes is known as an laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and is typically done preventively to remove the risk of developing ovarian cancer.

According to the NHS, it is suggested you stay off work for two to four weeks after having the surgery, meaning Lorraine may have to take a break from presenting her daytime show.
