Fearne Cotton has announced that she will undergo an operation to remove two benign tumours from her jaw.
The TV presenter confirmed this on a video shared via Instagram, adding that fellow presenter Davina McCall has been very supportive , having recently received surgery on a rare brain tumour.
"I've got a benign tumour just in my jaw here, below my ear, another little tiny one above it", Cotton said. "I'm very grateful they're benign but they do need to come out because they're on a nerve".
"So I'm gonna have that surgery, and then I'm gonna be resting to get better before Christmas", she added. "Not very good at resting, so wondering how that's gonna go. But I'm feeling OK about it. I'm going into the operation feeling good and well".
Speaking on her podcast, Happy Place, Fearne Cotton stated that she will "carry on as normal".
"I'll be doing all the regular stuff, I've banked a load of good episodes so that will still be rolling out, and I'll see you soon".
She also added that she "felt a lump under my ear on my jawline a while ago now but this year noticed it was growing".
"Turns out it's a benign tumour and another small one above it on the saliva gland".
"It's obviously so weird that only a couple of months ago Davina told me about her tumour and then weeks later I was calling her having discovered mine".
"I'm not only lucky she's a bloody good mate but also a beacon of light and positivity when it comes to this stuff".
Showing her support for Cotton, Davina McCall commented under the post, adding: "Sending you so much healing and love. Can't wait to give you a huge gentle cuddle".
