Lorraine Kelly, 65, reveals secret health battle as she shares update from hospital bed ahead of keyhole surgery
Lorraine Kelly has revealed that she is in hospital ahead of undergoing keyhole surgery.
The presenter, 65, shared a video to Instagram from her hospital bed and was dressed in a hospital gown as she gave fans an update.
She told the camera: '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.'
Reassuring fans that she is being well looked after, Lorraine added: '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.'
Lorraine 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!'
It comes after Lorraine left viewers of the ITV morning shows a little concerned after appearing on various programmes with a 'puffy'.
Lorraine 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!'
During Lorraine's appearance on Good Morning Britain many fans shared their worry on social media.
She later appeared on Loose Women and revealed exactly what had happened to her - that she had fallen over a rhino ornament while putting the washing out at home and given herself a black eye.
On Good Morning Britain on Monday, Susanna Reid asked: 'How's your eye by the way?'
Lorraine said: 'You can see Helen has covered it up. Our fantastic make-up artist. Helen Hand the magician.
'It's still quite bad but the swelling as gone down.'
Susanna replied: 'Last week when we saw you, you looked very weepy.'
Lorraine agreed: 'Yes, swollen.'
Just moments before Ed was left lost for words when Lorraine said a bit of a crude word.
Reassuring fans that she is being well looked after, Lorraine added: '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.'
The host was talking about the new drama Towards Zero when she said: 'It's called sh*gatha Christie apparently.'
A shocked Susanna replied: 'I beg your pardon?!'
And Lorraine asked: 'Am I allowed to say that? I've said it...'
Ed sternly shot back: 'No.'
A sheepish Lorraine said: ''Anyway... I apologise for apologising. I'll apologise again to myself.'
Lorraine later spoke about her black eye on Monday's episode of Lorraine.
'I had lots of things in my hands, lots of washing in my hand and then wham ! Fell!'
Dr Hilary Jones replied: 'Well you can't see it now?'
'That's because Helen has covered it up!,' Lorraine told him.
It comes after Lorraine updated fans on swollen face and is forced to apologise live on Good Morning Britain after VERY rude comment leaves Ed Balls stunned
They then shared a video of where the accident happened in her home on the show.
Dr Hilary then gave viewers tips on what to do if they find themselves in the same situation and how to improve bruises.
Lorraine later revealed the truth behind her swollen face live on Loose Women on Thursday after being asked 'if she'd had fillers.
'So I had a massive bag of washing, like a washing basket, I couldn't see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room, and there was a wee step.
'My slippers are too big and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!'
She continued: 'I thought "Oh it will be fine!" but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner, this big black eye!'
Lorraine explained that lots of 'lovely' viewers asked if she had allergies, but confirmed that this was not the case.
She also addressed speculation around her having facial injectables, adding: 'Have I had fillers? No!'
But before they got into the chat, Lorraine also wanted to address the speculation about her face, after many of those watching at home had got in touch with her to share their worry.
Lorraine explained: 'Yesterday, you know as woman, when we try to do too many things at one time, and we try to do it really fast...
'So I had a massive bag of washing, like a washing basket, I couldn't see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room, and there was a wee step.'

He picked Irish beauty Megan before getting her to lay on her tummy on the floor. Conor then hovered above her as they giggled and he said: "Pump." Tommy, who Megan is currently coupled up with, watched on in horror and shook his head. Welsh beauty Emily, who Conor said he was most invested in, then said: "If he carries on, he'll never find out how I am in bed." Elsewhere in the racy game, Helena lands on a dare and Dejon dares her to kiss the person that she'd chose to recouple with, she kisses Harrison. When she pulls a truth card, Harry asks Megan how she genuinely feels about Conor. She tells the group: 'Me and Conor got on from the start and that got cut short so I feel like there's unfinished business there, as you would say [Harry]'. Toni is asked how she feels to know that Harrison isn't just interested in her, given Helena's kiss in her dare. Toni responds 'When we talk to each other, he says the best chats are with me so he knows where home is'. Terrified Love Island star reveals relief after 'surviving' hot air balloon ride Yasmin then puts Harrison on the spot: 'Do you think the best chats are with Toni?' Harry is dared to kiss the Islander he's best suited to whilst Shea is dared to tell each Islander the first word he thinks of them, to mixed reactions. In the teaser trailer for tonight's episode, which was shared with viewers on Friday night, In the brief clip, it was clear that Tommy snogged Welsh beauty Emily as Irish beauty Megan looked on in horror. Tommy is coupled with Megan, but now it looks like there might be tension between the two. He then sensationally smooched Shakira as well. Meanwhile, the real bombshell of the game looked to be Shakira's steamy smooch with Harry. In the teaser clip's edit, it seemed as though the Islanders were asked to snog who they'd most like to be coupled up with. It then cut to Shakira smooching Harry as Helena and Ben looked at their current love interests with disgust. "Is that Shakira and Harry kissing?" said one viewer in reaction to the teaser clip, at the time.
