Fearne Cotton has bravely revealed the healing scars from having surgery two remove tumours from her jaw. The Happy Place podcast host and TV and radio presenter revealed earlier this month that she was undergoing an operation to remove two benign tumours from her jaw.
Today she returned to social media to share a glimpse of her recovery. Fearne, who is a mum of two, said she was 'feeling grateful that I'm healing well and will wear this scar with pride.'. Alongside photos of the right side of her face, Fearne began: The human body is incredible.
"In less than three weeks you can barely notice where I had the tumour removed. I feel almost normal. My ear is still quite numb and my face a little tender but other than that I'm feeling good. Only swipe if you want to see the gradual stages of healing. It's not massively gruesome but it certainly looks worse than photo number 1. I found the whole process fascinating and feel very grateful that the operation went well and that the tumour was benign. My surgeon Professor Oflynn made me feel extremely calm and all the nurses were complete angels. Nurse Jackie was especially amazing whilst I was in hospital telling me to get off my phone and nap etc. I needed a firm telling off at times.".
She went on: "Feeling grateful that I'm healing well and will always wear this scar with pride. A reminder to slow down and look after myself." It's been a difficult few weeks for the star who also announced she was splitting with her husband Jesse Woods.
