The 65-year-old TV presenter shared the news from her hospital bed in a video posted to Instagram

Lorraine Kelly has told fans she is undergoing keyhole surgery after feeling unwell for some time.

The 65-year-old TV presenter shared the news from her hospital bed in a video posted to Instagram, reassuring viewers that the procedure is preventative and that she is in good hands.

“Just wanted to let you know I’m having a wee procedure today,” she said. “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.”

She 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 also revealed the unexpected reason behind her black eye, telling Loose Women star Linda Robson that she accidentally injured herself while rushing around the house.

“I gave myself a black eye trying to do too many things at one time really fast,” she said.

“I had a massive basket of washing, couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room and couldn’t see.

“There was a wee step, and my slippers are too big also, and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!”

She added: “It’s a big giant wooden rhino, and I put my face on it, and I thought it would be fine, but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner.”

Despite the bruising, Lorraine appeared to be in good spirits, sharing the story with her trademark humour.

Earlier this year, in March, fans expressed concern for Lorraine Kelly after she appeared on Good Morning Britain with a noticeably puffy face.

Many speculated that the daytime TV presenter might have been having an allergic reaction — but Lorraine later reassured viewers that the truth was far less dramatic.

More recently, the presenter revealed she gave herself a black eye in a household mishap, telling Loose Women star Linda Robson that it happened while she was rushing around.

“I gave myself a black eye trying to do too many things at one time really fast,” she said.

“I had a massive basket of washing, couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room and couldn’t see.

“There was a wee step, and my slippers are too big also, and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!”

She added: “It’s a big giant wooden rhino, and I put my face on it, and I thought it would be fine, but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner.”

Despite the injury, Lorraine laughed off the accident, sharing the story with her usual good humour.
