|“I just wanted to come on and tell you all that I have been very quiet on here, the reason being is that I have had to have surgery because I've had very early stages of breast cancer.
“So, I had surgery two weeks ago and it was quite a big op. But it is all good, and I have had the results back, and they have got everything out, so it is all clear.
“But it is just now time to have some radiotherapy in a few weeks, and I just wanted to say that, yeah, I have still got quite a bit of healing to do, but I am good.
“I am well and feeling so much better, and I am so grateful that I went for my mammogram, and just wanted to say don't put them off.
The star was flooded with support from her fans asking if her husband had been looking after her

“Go, because if they hadn't found this on the mammogram, then it wouldn't have been picked up.

She simply captioned the post: “A little update from me.”
